Strategic advising for campaigns and advocacy organizations

I work with progressive advocacy organizations and Democratic campaigns to develop and align strategy, messaging, and operations to win.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve led national electoral, legislative, and issue campaigns, managed complex multimillion-dollar budgets, and built high-performing teams. I have a proven track record of scaling grassroots operations, integrating data, messaging, and communications to drive strategy, and delivering legislative and electoral wins.

HOW I WORK

You’re making decisions while the work is already underway.

Priorities compete. Time is limited. The path forward isn’t always clear.

I work with senior leaders and their teams in those moments.

When you’re:

  • starting a new campaign or entering a new cycle

  • reworking strategy after things have drifted

  • investing in messaging and research

  • scaling a program across states or constituencies

We define the path forward and make sure it holds up once the work starts.

ABOUT GEOFF WETROSKY

I’ve spent more than two decades working in electoral campaigns and national advocacy organizations.

At the Human Rights Campaign, I led national electoral and legislative programs, including work across battleground states and policy fights at every level of government. Before that, I managed national and multi-state campaigns at the AFL-CIO and worked on presidential, congressional, and statewide races in blue, purple, and red states.

Most of my work has involved leading and coordinating across teams—field, communications, digital, research, and development—and across partners. It’s fast-moving work. There’s rarely much time to step back and reassess.

That’s where I come in now.

I work with clients to step back, make decisions, and move forward with a plan that fits how campaigns actually operate.

what sets my work apart

Strategy tied to execution
Plans only matter if teams can implement them.

I help you get clear on priorities, tradeoffs, and where to invest so the work actually gets done.

Experience running complex programs
I’ve led national electoral and advocacy campaigns, managed multimillion-dollar budgets, and built teams delivering across states.

I know where plans tend to break down—and how to adjust before they do.

Alignment across teams
The strongest campaigns are the ones where teams, partners, and leadership are moving together.

I help you clarify priorities, surface tradeoffs, and align stakeholders around a shared plan—especially when the work is moving quickly or stakes are high.

Let’s CONNECT

I work with a limited number of clients at a time to ensure focused, high-impact engagement.

If you’re navigating a high-stakes campaign, strategic inflection point, or organizational transition, I’d welcome a conversation.
