Examples of Past Campaigns
In 1998, people wanted a quick fix to our education problems and Proposition 8 offered them one. It was promoted as a way to reduce class size, reduce drug use, give parents more control and hold the bureaucrats accountable.
It was a tough package to beat. But W&M, working on behalf of California’s education community, created credible messages, built a far-reaching coalition and demonstrated to the news media and the voting public that Proposition 8 was the wrong kind of reform.
Our aggressive news media operation not only won the opposition of almost every daily newspaper, we also convinced a newspaper to reverse its initial editorial position against us. On election day, we defeated the measure by an almost two to one margin.
