Catherine is an amazing professional whose passion for policy, dedication to clients, and superior campaign skills mean that you are working with the absolute best. I had the opportunity to be a client of Catherine and the Lew Edwards Group during a very difficult election cycle. Her poise; sophistication; and knowledge of politics, policy, and government left a lasting impression with me and to do this date, she remains one of my favorite consultants I have had the pleasure to work with. In the 2020 campaign cycle, my company, Graduate Communications, was able to work alongside the Lew Edwards group to build campaign websites for education campaigns in California. Catherine and her staff work around the clock for their clients to make sure that everything is in place, messaging is spot on, and that the campaign is moving forward. I am pleased to off my highest recommendation to Catherine and the Lew Edwards group. An amazing person with an amazing team!

Catherine Lew's firm, participated as our political experts as we successfully ran our Ohlone College Bond Measure G campaign. Both Catherine and Jennifer Root were active team members as we moved through the difficult process of identifying core committee members, political and community alies and generating phone calling rosters. They designed effective advertising media and helped to connect us to many influential sponsors. They were personable and a joy to work with, always quick to follow up on emails and phone messages. I would highly recommend them. Jan Vincent, Owner, JVA Business Services...Your Marketing Connection!, Ohlone Foundation Executive Board Member and Bond Measure G Core Committee Member

In December 2008, the City of Gardena contracted with The Lew Edwards Group (LEG) for the March 2009 Utility User Tax Modernization Measure. LEG assisted the City with the language of the ballot measure preparation of nonpartisan Information and communication services to educate and inform Gardena residents. The ballot measure was approved by over 80%, saving the City from potential loss of UUT revenue of 1 million dollars annually. Based on that success, in May 2009, the City once again engaged LEG to assist with the 2009 Lighting Assessment District (LAD) measure. This was a Proposition 218 mail ballot measure requiring a positive vote for the majority of ballots returned. LEG provided strategic consulting services for the preparation of factual materials, website copy, and community presentation materials. Their experienced advice to the City for its outreach efforts resulted in voter approval of the increased assessments. LEG efforts have made a significant contribution to City of Gardena. Yes, I endorse LEG and would highly recommend their professional consulting services. I can be reached at (310) 217-9503. Mitch Lansdell, City Manager City of Gardena, California
