The voting booth is often the ultimate battleground for citizens trying to stop real estate projects, which is why clients turn to GCA Strategies to manage both defensive and offensive political campaigns.
Anti-Qualification Campaigns
It is clearly a better strategy to keep a hostile measure off the ballot is than to simply react to an anti-project initiative after it qualifies for an election. GCA specializes in anti-petition campaigns to prevent or defer qualification of hostile ballot measures.
Qualification Drives
When you need voter approval for your project or its funding, GCA can help qualify your measure for the ballot, including drafting ballot text, managing qualification petition drives, and lobbying for legislative placement.
Voter Advocacy
Campaigns are won or lost by voter contact. GCA provides grassroots organizing for phone banks, rallies, letter-writing drives, door-to-door canvassing, neighborhood coffees, voter registration drives, voter identification, absentee ballot programs and get-out-the-vote (GOTV) programs.
Materials
GCA’s campaign materials include press and speaker’s bureau kits, handout literature, direct mail, website and e-mail communication, advertising, audio and videotapes, and collateral materials such as buttons and campaign signs.
