Built for the statehouse

Chris Jones Coalition was founded on a conviction that American politics is decided, more than anywhere else, in state capitols — and that candidates for state legislature were being served by consulting built for Congress. We built a firm specifically for that layer: the lawmakers whose decisions set the terms for healthcare, education, taxation, and election administration, often with far less support than their decisions deserve.

How we work

Our model is the coalition: every client is paired with a cross-partisan team that covers strategy, research, field planning, and legislative support. Working across party lines is not a slogan for us — it is a structural advantage, because statehouse coalitions are built by persuasion, not by primary politics. We advise on campaigns, and we stay for the governing: bill drafting support and legislative strategy for the session that follows.

• Campaign strategy and field planning for state-house races.
• Cross-partisan research and message development.
• Legislative support: bill drafting assistance and session strategy.

Our standard

We measure ourselves on outcomes: races won, incumbents defended, and bills enacted with our support. Every engagement starts with an honest assessment of the district and ends with an audited record of what we did. If you are running for the statehouse or serving there now, explore this site to see how our coalition model supports the legislators who do the quiet work of American self-government.

Every engagement begins with a frank conversation about the district, the incumbent, and the math of the map, before any contract is signed, because we only take work we believe we can help win. Once engaged, our team embeds with the campaign or the legislative office, and the same people who made the plan stay to see it executed. That continuity is the difference between a consultant and a coalition, and it is why our clients keep winning.
