On Tuesday, San Diego County District 1 voters elected Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre as Supervisor. Convergence worked on behalf of the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council to produce bilingual direct mail and digital ads targeted exclusively to union members in both the primary and runoff elections.   

During the primary, our strategy was to distinguish Paloma from the crowded field of Democratic candidates by highlighting her record as Mayor of Imperial Beach and appealing to some Republican voters. Our strategy in the runoff election was to continue to highlight her record, emphasize endorsements from local unions, and call attention to her opponent’s shortcomings.

Congratulations to Paloma Aguirre on your big win!

Voters in Maine elected Sean Faircloth, former mayor of Bangor and State Legislator, to the
State House with a resounding 72% of the vote. Sean’s victory was critical to preserve the
narrow majority held by Maine Democrats in the State House.

Convergence worked on behalf of the Maine Democratic Party’s independent expenditure to create a direct mail and digital advertising campaign that emphasized the stakes of the election and Sean’s strong qualifications. Our campaign focused on voter education and encouraging voters to use early and absentee voting, including information about where and how to vote. Congratulations Rep. Faircloth!

Jeanette Martinez made history in Fort Worth, Texas on Saturday, becoming the first Latina elected to serve on the City Council. Jeanette was born and raised in Fort Worth and is a leader who will continue giving back to her community in this new role. 

Convergence Targeted is proud of our work for an independent expenditure supporting Jeanette’s campaign, creating mail pieces that complemented the campaign, highlighting  Jeanette’s experience, her plan to address the issues Fort Worth is facing, and making contrasts to her opponent. 

Congratulations to Councilmember-Elect Jeanette Martinez on her historic win!

Yesterday, voters in 30 jurisdictions across the Kansas City, Missouri metro area approved a common-sense sales taxes on recreational marijuana. Convergence is proud of the small part we played in these wins, serving as a consultant to Show Me Stronger Communities, a PAC that communicated the benefits of these taxes to voters in Independence, Missouri and across Jackson County. 

Convergence created a campaign site, direct mail, and campaign literature for SMSC that highlighted the concrete benefits of marijuana sales taxes for the entire region and for individual municipalities, and employed imagery and language that addressed the concerns of voters who may not have supported Missouri’s vote to legalize recreational marijuana last year.

Congratulations Show Me Stronger Communities on this incredible win!

On Tuesday, May 3, Attorney Andra Hedrick defeated her two opponents in the Davidson County (Nashville, TN) Democratic Primary for Circuit Court Division 7. Andra’s victory was significant, receiving over 21,000 votes. With her victory in the Democratic Primary, she moves one step closer to becoming potentially the first woman to take the bench as Probate Judge in Nashville history.   

Convergence was proud to provide digital advertising services for the Hedrick campaign during the Democratic Primary. We had the privilege of working with the wonderful Hedrick campaign team, and together we successfully communicated her experience and vision to Nashville voters.

In a decisive victory, San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney has won a special election for the California Assembly in District 17. 

In both the special primary and runoff, Convergence created a direct mail plan for an independent expenditure supporting Haney to highlight his pro-housing record, in contrast with his main opponent, David Campos. Haney emerged as the top vote-getter after a competitive primary, and decisively won yesterday’s runoff election by 63%-37% (unofficial results). 

We’re proud of our work on this IE for a pro-housing progressive and wish Assm.-Elect Haney the best in his new role!
