In our more than twenty years of operation, Franzén & Company has established an election success rate of more than 80 percent. And we didn’t do it by just picking easy races.

Our founder, John Franzén, managed Leon Panetta’s first campaign for Congress, defeating a 14-year incumbent in a district that had been a Republican stronghold for four decades. Our firm then produced eight consecutive Panetta reelection campaigns, driving his share of the vote routinely over 70 percent.

Other challenger and open-seat candidates we've helped to elect include Congressmen Tim Roemer (IN-3), Collin Peterson (MN-7), David Skaggs (CO-2) and Sam Farr (CA-17).

In addition, we produced the memorable reelection campaign of Senator J. Bennett Johnston (D-LA) against a very strong challenge by David Duke. Our famous TV ad revealing Duke at a cross-burning eliminated more than one-third of his support, as measured by tracking polls, in three days, and won us four national awards.

We’re also well versed in initiative campaigns. In 2000, for example, we produced the media that defeated the California School Voucher Initiative (Proposition 38) by a margin of 71-29, despite a $30 million campaign by the measure's proponents.

And those are just a few of the election contests where our strategic know-how and creative skill have made the critical difference.
