Built Here. Accountable to Results.

1889 Consulting is a boutique political and public affairs firm. We exist to close the gap between strategy and execution for campaigns and organizations that cannot afford to lose.

— Why 1889

A Name That Carries Weight

1889 is the year North Dakota entered the Union—on its own terms, through principled conviction, without shortcuts. That founding spirit is the firm's operating standard, not a marketing device.

Strategy without execution is noise. Every engagement we take on is scoped around measurable outcomes—votes moved, dollars raised, messages landed—not deliverable documents that sit in a drawer.

We are selective about clients because the work demands it. We do not take more accounts than we can run at full discipline.

Her background spans campaign management, direct mail production, and grassroots field operations across the Upper Midwest. She understands what it costs to lose—and how to avoid it.
