Trailblazing Canvassers

Testimonial

I first got to know Ted during my time in Oregon politics as Secretary of State in the 1990s, where he had earned a widespread reputation for running a highly professional signature gathering business. I then had the pleasure to work with him directly after leaving office, when I was chief petitioner of a major ballot measure initiative campaign in 2006.

We retained Ted’s firm to assist us in gathering signatures. I was greatly impressed with his business acumen; his candor; his work ethic; and most of all with his sense of fairness and integrity. It is a tough business — constantly recruiting people, training, and managing them, and then enforcing the appropriate laws and rules when necessary.

Ted and his colleagues did not just meet our hopes and expectations, but consistently exceeded them. In my experience, he distinguished himself for not cutting corners; being direct and honest about setting appropriate expectations; having a serious and meaningful approach to quality control; and going the extra mile when needed to achieve success.
