Congressman Bill Keating
Massachusetts 9th Congressional District
“ In close collaboration with my campaign team, 5Thirteen Consulting worked to ensure ballot access for my 2020 reelection bid. Despite the difficulties posed by Covid-19, their team, led by Marc and Scott, collected nearly 3,000 verifiable hard-copy, non-digital signatures, which was about 2,000 more than the courts required in response to the pandemic. They further worked closely with town clerks throughout the district, as well as officials in the Secretary of State’s office, to ensure all deadlines were met and procedures were followed. Most importantly, it was all done without putting a single person in harm's way. I can't recommend 5Thirteen Consulting enough.”

"I can’t say how much I have been impressed with 5Thirteen Consulting, particularly their expertise regarding the world of digital campaigns. They did exceptional work for two statewide Democratic candidates here in North Carolina and, I will say with all sincerity, that I look forward to continuing our burgeoning relationship. The 5Thirteen team truly has a deep understanding of all things politics and, perhaps as importantly, they are good people to know.”

“I met with Marc and Kristine a few years back, and for over a year we kept in touch, trying to find a good fit for our teams to work together. We did so because we both believed in the work of the other. Children’s Services of Roxbury and 5Thirteen began our formal relationship last fall and I couldn’t be happier. Marc, Kristine, Michael, Scott, and Adam have added so much to our organization. And I know they truly believe in the work that we do. They are committed to the cause.”

“5Thirteen’s Marc Pacheco did a fantastic job helping to secure our Community Agreement with the Town of Plymouth for recreational cannabis sales. Additionally, Marc gave me a better understanding of diplomacy. I wholeheartedly recommend the team for outreach and communications!”
When a Democratic candidate for a statewide office in a decidedly deep red state found himself in danger of falling short of qualifying for the ballot, he called on 5Thirteen Consulting. Our team embarked on an 18-day campaign to lock down over two-thirds of the state’s congressional districts. When the dust settled, the impossible became not just possible, but a reality.
Ballot access campaigns are incredibly difficult when time is short and the candidate is not of the party traditionally preferred by the electorate — but our combined teams faced both obstacles and yet, despite the odds, succeeded.
5Thirteen Consulting recently worked to ensure ballot access for Massachusetts Congressman Bill Keating. Despite the difficulties posed by Covid-19, we collected nearly 3,000 verifiable signatures. That’s about 2,000 more than the courts required in response to the pandemic, and it was all done without putting a single person in harm’s way or gathering a single signature digitally.
5Thirteen Consulting completed a successful 2020 fundraising campaign for the Louis D. Brown Institute – helping to raise $125K over the previous year's Mother’s Day Walk for Peace total, and $25K over the organization's 2020 goal. Of course, it was a virtual walk this year, making the process a bit more arduous, but we rose to the challenge!
5Thirteen Consulting had the distinct pleasure of working with Bob Andrews and Paul Brennan of Alfred's Finest to help them secure their Host Community Agreement with the Town of Plymouth for recreational cannabis sales. Our team, which included old friends Attorneys Edward and Timothy Angley, worked closely together to secure a positive outcome.
Written, Produced and Narrated by Marc Pacheco, Senior Director Scott Campanella, and HER TAKE contributor Elika Peyvan. This was a lot of fun and really captured John. Thanks to Hawk Visuals for their work as well.
