A Little More About Us

Started in 2007, Spiros Consulting conducts opposition research, policy work, and general consulting for Democratic candidates and interest groups across the country.  We have worked in nearly 40 states on races for Governor, Senate, Congress, Attorney General, Mayor, and numerous independent expenditures, including on one of Politico’s “Top 10 political upsets of 2008” and the Washington Post’s "honorable mention" winner for "best gubernatorial campaign.”  In 2011, Spiros helped Fort Wayne mayor Tom Henry win a tough reelection fight, marking the first time either party has “controlled the mayor’s office for 16 consecutive years since 1869."  In 2012, Spiros helped elect Congress’ only General and only CEO of a publicly traded company.  In the 2014 cycle, Spiros landed what National Journal called the “Most damaging early oppo hit” for the first half of 2014 in the Maryland governor’s race, causing the New York Times’ Jonathan Martin to ask “has any statewide candidate been so eviscerated out of box by separate oppo hits as Gansler?” Spiros also held Congressional opponents in Virginiaand Illinois accountable for failing to disclose required information on ethics forms, while exposing a gubernatorial candidate for exaggerating his resume and experience.
