About Us

Valley Progressive Solutions LLC began with the simple idea that Central Valley progressives running for office shouldn’t have to choose between local, conservative campaign consultants or genuinely progressive consultants from the big cities. Central Valley consultants typically come in two flavors: openly Republican, or “works-mostly-with-Democrats-but-also-sometimes-Republicans.” What masquerades as bipartisan or nonpartisan is truly a status-quo politics leaving much to be desired. In our view, even the most well-intentioned candidate cannot succeed as a force for good while operating in a circle of toxic ideology. That’s where we step in - an alternative to the traditional, outdated political machine.

OUR MISSION AND VALUES

It’s easy for anyone to call themselves a progressive, as there is no central authority determining who does or does not meet the standard. At Valley Progressive Solutions, our version of progressivism is centered in anti-oppression. We approach each campaign with the mindset that politicians are policymakers, and policy is a matter of life and death. Progressivism is not a hat or a bumper sticker; as activists, organizers, campaign workers, and human beings, our progressivism is something we must live out every day.

We fight for liberation from systems of oppression that politics enables and embodies. In academic terms, we stand firmly opposed to the white supremacist, ableist, fascist, imperialist, cisheteronormative capitalist patriarchy. Simply put, we want to live in a world of peace, justice, health, and happiness, where everyone’s needs are met.

Yes, we put our money where our mouth is: Valley Progressive Solutions is the only consulting firm in the area that will not manage campaigns for candidates unless they decline all donations from law enforcement, developers/landlords, and fossil fuel companies.
