Sound familiar? Maybe you are a parent who longs for better bike lanes and sidewalks on your kid’s route to school. Maybe you’re a retiree with a story to tell and expertise in your field to share. A union leader, a business owner, a volunteer, a teacher. You feel like you can contribute to your community by serving in government but just need a little bit of help getting started.

We are here for you!

Oxalis has years of experience in getting campaigns up and running, with a team of experts that can help you tell your story and begin your journey as a candidate. 

We are a small group of skilled professionals who love this work. We help people just like you get off to a strong start. We will work with you to build a custom package, not a copy/paste campaign plan, using what you know aboutyour community, how you want to run your campaign, and telling your story authentically and effectively.

We know that the first few months of your campaign are as important as the last. This is when you build your kitchen cabinet, file with the Secretary of State, and begin raising the funds that you will rely on in the coming months. You need to set up your communications infrastructure – website, social media , and mailing list. You need to explore your values and develop your message so you can tell your story clearly and impactfully whether in a press release, doorstep talk, or stump speech. The Oxalis Group can make this less overwhelming by bringing a diverse set of skills to help you execute all this better.

• A basic campaign plan covering fundraising, voter analysis, general election strategy, campaign summary, and calendar.
