The Chicago Tribune today highlighted the online efforts (which we coordinated) of our client Jason Plummer, who won the Republican nomination for Illinois Lt. Governor earlier this week. The Tribune article sites Jason as:
“part of a ‘new breed of Republican politics’ — a young, energetic politician who tapped into social networking and worked hard throughout the state.”
Jason made the e-campaign an important part of his campaign, including building one of the largest Republican voter email networks in the state, and a large and active following on Facebook. It is interesting to note that Jason won the campaign by approximately 4,700 votes — and had about 4,700 supporters on Facebook.
