Longwell Partners is a premiere pro-democracy communications firm responsible for running some of the most high-profile campaigns of the 2024 campaign cycle. We run full-service communications outreach efforts on behalf of clients including Republican Voters Against Trump — our flagship 2024 campaign — The Bulwark, Republican Accountability Project, and Republicans for Ukraine.
The firm is headed by veteran political strategist Sarah Longwell, who has been credited as one of the most insightful observers of trends driving the electorate today. Her efforts focus on identifying persuadable conservative-leaning undecided voters, and reaching them with ad content tailor-made to drive support for pro-democracy candidates.
Republican Voters Against Trump is the primary vehicle for our 2024 campaign work. RVAT has created hundreds of testimonial videos from former Trump voters who will not vote for him again this year. With Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket, we are quickly revamping our content to reflect the new political environment. Interns will support RVAT’s testimonial production team, coordinate with our grassroots network, and film Zoom interviews with former Trump voters who will vote against him this November.
