Following Kevin Faulconer’s recent victory in the City of San Diego mayoral contest, his campaign strategists walked away with some additional accolades during Friday’s “Pollie” Awards.
“What Kevin Faulconer’s campaign and State Senator Andy Vidak’s victory last July have proven is that Republicans can win Democrat areas if they run the right kind of campaign with the right kind of candidate,” Revolvis Consulting partner Jason Roe tells SD Rostra.
Congrats to the Faulconer and Revolvis teams!

(San Diego, Calif.) Revolvis Consulting and newly-elected San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s campaign team celebrated impressive honors at the American Association of Political Consultants’ annual Pollie Awards this past Friday evening in San Diego.
The Pollie Awards recognize excellence in the political consulting industry.
Revolvis took home a Gold Pollie for a television ad produced for Prop. 20-213 in Lane, Oregon, plus a Silver Pollie for the mail piece, “Proven Record,” produced for Faulconer for Mayor.
Former Revolvis partner Steven Puetz (pictured right) was named “Local Campaign Manager of the Year” for his work as manager for Faulconer.
Ryan Clumpner (pictured left), who produced mail for the Lincoln Club of San Diego, won a Gold Pollie for a mail piece titled “Deception” in the “Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda” category of best piece never sent. Clumpner also took a Bronze Pollie for “Best Use of Negative/Contrast, Bronze for “Best Use of Bilingual/Multilingual,” and a Silver for best mail in an Independent Expenditure Campaign.
CRAFT Media received a Silver Pollie for their television ad for Faulconer which helped him past Nathan Fletcher into the run-off.
Gateway Media received 3 Gold, 1 Silver, and 1 Bronze for their multi-media campaign opposing Nathan Fletcher called “Zombies for Responsible Government.”
Faulconer was elected San Diego Mayor this past February 53-47 percent in a city with only 26 percent GOP registration. Faulconer defied expectations by overcoming the 14 percent disadvantage, out-performing Republican registration by 27 percent and making San Diego, America’s 8th largest city, the biggest with a Republican mayor.
