We’re excited to announce @AustinStukins as Executive Vice President, Operations!
A former Marine who previously worked at Push Digital, Austin will continue to serve our friends at Politexts while helping strengthen operations across both sides of our firm.
Austin understands what sets us apart: loyalty to our clients, a commitment to excellence, and retaining the most talented team in the business.
We’re proud to have built South Carolina’s largest independent public affairs and campaign firm—and we’re just getting started.
Please join us in congratulating Austin.
Our hearts are broken at the passing of our dear friend and client Senator Lindsey Graham. May the Lord comfort his family, friends, and Team Graham over the coming days.
Congratulations to our clients who finished first on Tuesday in highly contested Republican primaries!
Whether we served in a lead role, a supporting role, or as a trusted vendor, we're grateful for the opportunity.
We don't look for layups—we embrace the challenge.
