“There is so much to learn about how to run and win a campaign. When I first ran for the Minnesota House of Representatives I used the information provided by The Campaign School and its training courses as the foundation for my campaign strategy. I am now in my second term and know that Brian Floyd and The Campaign School played a large part in my success.”
Bjorn Olson
Minnesota State Legislator
“Each time the elections presented unique challenges that had to be overcome. Each time with his help I have been directed in the right path with political statements, mailers, and emails that have got the voters attention on important issues and maintained them though out the campaign. I would recommend Brian’s team of experts to accomplish what seems impossible.”
Herb Higgins
former Mayor and City Councilman
“Brian Floyd is one of the most dedicated and aggressive consultants I’ve ever worked with. His love of his job is apparent in everything he does – and his loyalty to his clients is second-to-none. I’ve enjoyed working with him and know when he’s involved, its always going to be interesting. His job is to win – and he gets the job done.”
Jim Battin
California State Legislator, ret.
I am a professional political consultant. I’m proud to say that on the campaigns where my company has served as the lead consultant, my clients have won 86% of the time.
I started The Campaign School because I was tired of seeing good people with good intentions and good ideas losing elections, because they didn’t know what to do, focused on the wrong things, or listened to people who gave them worthless advice.
