OUR WORK
BOND & LEVY
OUTREACH
School leaders across the ESD 112 region and Washington State trust our team to serve as an extension of theirs in election communications. During the February 2026 election cycle, we provided comprehensive communications support for 30 measures statewide—29 of which passed, resulting in a 97% success rate. We also supported three of the five bond measures that passed statewide, each earning 65–70% voter approval, well above the required 60% supermajority. (Read more.)
In the February 2024 special election, our clients saw an average 4% increase in yes votes compared with their most recent—even pre‑pandemic—elections. Clients who began election communications planning by September or earlier saw an average 12% increase over their last election. Community education, especially around school funding, is a year‑round effort, and starting factual election communications early makes a measurable difference.

What our bond & levy clients are saying
“ESD 112’s communications team was an outstanding partner from start to finish. You brought steady leadership, a clear strategy, and a strong understanding of our district, helping us keep our outreach positive, factual, and compliant. Your responsiveness and high-quality materials played an important role in the success of our bond.”
“Thank you to your entire ESD 112 team! Not sure we’ve EVER been at 54% on the first night! Every election over the last six years, we’ve had to pick up 10-14% over the two weeks. The ESD 112 team is a HUGE part of our success over the last two elections. Your hard work and effort is much appreciated!”
