Democratic political consulting firm specializing in opposition research Any credible researcher can find public records and dump them into a report.
Stanford Campaigns is different because unlike other researchers who started in party offices or consulting firms, we got our start in campaigns. In 2010, Stanford Campaigns helped pick up the Vermont Governor's Mansion, re-elect five Members of Congress (including two in districts that McCain won) and won a few local races from coast-to-coast.
