VIVA Clients
Selected client summaries:
- Jim Davis for Florida (2006) Governor
-
After Smith lost to Davis in the primary, we contacted the Davis campaign and were able to get their site up and running in record time--but with less than a month left before the general election. In those 4 weeks, we registered over 500 users and reached out to over 5,000 voters. Our primary contact there was the Director of Online Communications, Matt Thornton.
- Phil Angelides for California (2006) Governor
-
Our largest-scale operation to-date was the Angelides campaign prior to the Democratic primary, which he won solidly (later to go on to lose to Schwarzenegger in the general). In the 5 weeks the system was up before the June primary, volunteers on VIVA made nearly 40,000 phone calls. For budget reasons, VIVA was the sole voterfile system for Angelides. Our contacts there were Dan Chavez (Deputy Campaign Manager as well as Field Director) and Christy Wolfe.
- Rod Smith for Florida (2006) Governor
-
Prior to the September Primary, we had over 600 volunteers reach out to nearly 20,000 voters--mostly through calling, but with substantial letter-writing and canvassing components (about 4,000 each). We worked directly with Paul Neaville, the campaign manager, on this project.
- Virginia Democratic Party - Coordinated Campaign - Tim Kaine for Governor / Latino Outreach (2005)
-
The project was specifically with the Latino outreach group within the Kaine campaign. Our contacts there were Carlos Soles and Sindy Benavides.
- Betty Castor for U.S. Senate (Florida) (2004)
-
This was an interesting project, as our primary contact within the campaign was Larry Biddle, the Finance Director (and Deputy Campaign Manager)--not the field director. In addition to doing normal outreach work, our project goals were fund-raising-based as well.
- Seniors for America (2004)
-
This group, organized by Howard Vicini, was incredibly active in 2004. In a matter of just a few weeks, they wrote over 15,000 letters into a number of different states.
