Trusted by elected officials across California and Oregon
We Understand Your Challenges
Local office is a full-time commitment, usually without full-time pay or staff. Keeping constituents informed should not be the thing that burns you out.
Limited Budget
A communications consultant costs more than most council stipends. Professional outreach ends up feeling like a luxury.
No Spare Hours
Between meetings, events, work, and family, writing a newsletter every week is the first thing to slip.
No Support Staff
Higher offices have communications teams. Most councilmembers have themselves and an inbox.
How It Works
A typical week takes you a few minutes. The rest is handled.
We research your city
Each week we pull from your council agendas, city announcements, and the local sources you choose, then draft a newsletter around what matters to your residents.
You review and edit
The draft is written in your voice, using your priorities and tone. Read it, make any changes, and approve it in minutes. Nothing goes out without your sign-off.
We send it for you
Your newsletter goes out on the day you pick, from your name, to your subscriber list. Delivery, formatting, and mobile layout are handled.
Your list grows
Residents sign up on your landing page and are added automatically. Every issue is archived there too, so new subscribers can catch up on your record.
What You Actually Get
The newsletter is the deliverable. These are the outcomes.
Your constituents hear about upcoming votes and decisions from you first, before the rumor mill or the local paper.
Drafts are built from your bio, your priority issues, and your tone. Readers recognize you in every issue.
The list is yours. It grows with every issue and stays with you no matter what happens next.
Every newsletter lives on your landing page. Residents, reporters, and future voters can see what you have done and said.
When something urgent happens in your city, you already have an engaged list that expects to hear from you.
Open and click tracking on every issue shows which topics your residents actually care about.
