Campaign Field Director

Kolehouse Strategies is a dynamic political consulting firm with a desire to help elect candidates, pass important legislation and initiatives while developing its employees for the betterment of our communities. We specialize in running paid canvass programs, volunteer management programs, petition signature collection, membership involvement efforts, and campaign management. Kolehouse Strategies’ leadership team brings more than 25 years of political strategy experience and is constantly evolving with the tactics being used in today’s political climate. We are currently partnering with Raise the Wage Arizona to assist in the effort of collecting petition signatures to qualify an issue on the Arizona Statewide ballot during this November’s Election.

Raise the Wage Arizona is part of a national coalition, campaign, and organization seeking to end all sub-minimum wages in the United States and increase the sustainability of wages and working conditions for all jobs. Raise the Wage Arizona is focused on raising the Arizona minimum wage by $1 over cost of living increases in 2025 and 2026 and leaves cost of living increases in place thereafter. For tipped employees, it raises the minimum wage employers must pay tipped employees regardless of tips employees earn. Currently, employers may count up to $3 per hour of a tipped employee's tips to offset the employer's minimum wage obligation. The Act gradually reduces the amount of the employer's offset due to tips until the employer is required to pay the full minimum wage and employees keep all of their tips on top of that wage.
