Gallagher Hollenbeck is a political research firm with thirty years of experience at delivering hard hitting content. A truly national firm, our organization has conducted research on individuals and issues in more than half of the states in our union. We have offices in New York City, New Jersey and Washington D.C. Our operatives have produced research for successful campaigns at all levels of government from New York to California and everywhere in between.
Gallagher Hollenbeck's professional research team has delivered information for victory time and again. Nine times out of ten, campaigns structured upon the solid bedrock of Gallagher Hollenbeck research claim victory over the opposition, sometimes against near impossible odds.
We specialize primarily in legislative investigations for state house races and maintain massive legislative databases for numerous states including Pennsylvania, Alabama, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Louisiana, Virginia and many others.
While Gallagher Hollenbeck can produce unparallel research on candidates with a legislative record, we are also uniquely equipped to conduct biographic investigations into political neophytes.
Our proprietary Oppo-Scanner software allows us to perform automated background checks on hundreds of individuals at a time - the perfect tool for researching newcomers to politics as we can examine associates, business interests, family members across state lines with never before seen accuracy and speed.
As we enjoy explaining to our clients, our software is a "hit maker" - we craft storylines that would be impossible to find without using our in-house data crunching programs.
The Gallagher Hollenbeck team is proud to be an innovator in the field of opposition research and we are proud to stand on our record:
In 2010, Gallagher Hollenbeck' Alabama research was essential to delivering a supermajority in the state house - the first Republican majority in Alabama's legislature since the civil war.
Also in 2010, Gallagher Hollenbeck research was the basis for the GOP's reclamation of a majority in the New York State Senate, despite an array of weak candidates at the top of the ticket.
In 2009, Gallagher Hollenbeck operatives assisted the victorious Chris Christie for Governor campaign in New Jersey - the first statewide Republican victory in over a decade.
Also in 2009, Gallagher Hollenbeck research was essential to the successful campaigns of several New York State county races.
Our research formed the basis of the victorious campaign that upset 12-year Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano. Our research was also vital in delivering a republican majority to Long Island's Nassau County Legislature for the first time in nearly a decade and delivering the stunning defeat of democrat star the County Executive Tom Suozzi.
In 2008, a blue wave swept the nation. Bucking the national trend, Gallagher Hollenbeck clients were big winners. Our favorite come-from-behind victory was in New Jersey's open Seventh Congressional District, where Leonard Lance defeated democrat favorite Linda Stender - one of the DCCC's top five targeted Congressional races and Stender received major national backing. Despite losing by only 4 points in 2006, our research helped deliver Lance to a major win, thoroughly routing the Stender campaign.
2008 also took our firm throughout the great state of Pennsylvania, where we conducted "on the ground" research efforts vital to the Pennsylvania statehouse republicans preserving their majority status and even gaining seat, despite popular democrats up-ticket.
Again bucking the trend, 2006 saw major Gallagher Hollenbeck victories despite the national mood. Our research efforts proved essential to the gubernatorial elections of Rob Riley in Alabama, Jodi Rell in Connecticut, and Jim Gibbons in Nevada. Gallagher Hollenbeck was also on the case for various Congressional victors such as Mike Ferguson (NJ-7), Randy Kuhl (NY-29) and Vito Fossella (NY-13).
Our record and our results make it clear - winning campaigns and successful committees build their operations upon Gallagher Hollenbeck research.
