Successful Campaigns
Monica Wilson
Monica Wilson, a sitting Antioch City County member, came to GreenDogs to help in a tough re-election race. Her opponent used questionable tactics that she successfully fought and has since gone on to win two subsequent re-elections.
John Haschak
After a long career as classroom teacher and union leader, John Haschak felt moved to work more closely with his own Mendocino community. In a tough campaign, John went on to victory and easily won a second term.
Diane Gasson
As a parent of school age children who was closely invested in the quality of Novato’s schools, Diane felt it was crucial to have a parent on the school board. We worked closely with her and her Kitchen Cabinet to craft a strong brand and persuasive messaging that resonated with voters of all ages. She was able to go on to a second term without challenge.
Heidi Hall
Heidi Hall, a longtime activist in Nevada County and beyond, worked with GreenDogs to fashion a winning campaign with humor, strong messaging and smart graphics. She has since won two re-election campaigns.
Our Principal
Dotty LeMieux started GreenDog Campaigns in 2000 to take her experience in community organizing to the next level. Previously Dotty helped organize community-based campaigns to stop massive construction at San Quentin Prison, lobbying local and State leaders and bringing together hundreds of local volunteers protecting endangered trees in San Mateo County; protecting water quality in Placer County and much more.
Since then, she and her GreenDog strategic partners have taken first time, Democratic, female and progressive candidates to victory, amassing an impressive 70% plus win rate.
GreenDogs has created smart persuasion campaigns in partnership with organizations and unions such as:
Power PAC — Helped defeat Republican Carly Fiorina against US. Senator Barbara Boxer through a satirical, interactive website
California Teachers Association —Organized parents of Stockton District schools to lobby for funding
Uniquely North Bay—Successful non-partisan lobbying effort for the integrity of the North Coast region during the 2010 and 2020 redistricting programs, using Facebook pages and in-person testimony at redistricting hearings
Proposition 33, the California Rent Control Measure—Organized support in the entire North Coast region.
Dotty also works as an environmental lawyer and writes poetry, much of it focused on topical subjects.
Testimonials
“I was a first-time candidate for city council. Dotty and her associates were indispensable in helping me design graphics and summarize my goals and accomplishments for lawn signs, mailers and hand-outs as well as obtaining voter information for door knocking. Her rates were fair and affordable. I am thrilled to report that not only did I win the election and beat an incumbent, but I was the highest vote getter in my race.”
“GreenDogs was a huge part of the success of my campaign. They created a beautiful literature piece and took care of all my mailing needs. Their sound advice and tips for reaching out to voters and supporters was invaluable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for campaign support.”
“Dotty and her team provided excellent service and support during my campaign for Los Gatos Town Council. Dotty’s company was professional, provided creative solutions to meet our objectives while remaining in budget. She was available 24/7 during crucial periods in the campaign and was able to respond to our needs immediately. I would recommend GreenDog Campaigns to all “first time” candidates as well as candidates running for re-elections”
“GreenDog Campaigns provided excellent services from strategy to mail to helping us reach the right voters at the door and on the phone. We were in the top two in a tough primary of eight candidates and went on to win a hard fought general election for County Supervisor, defeating a three-term past Supervisor.
All the way through, the GreenDog team was professional, caring and responsive to the changing needs of our campaign. We couldn’t have done with without them.”
“GreenDog Campaigns worked closely with me on my campaign for Supervisor. They even took photos for my campaign mail and website. And the use of humor to help get my message across was the perfect winning touch. They really go the “extra mile” for their clients.”
“GreenDog Campaigns helped me keep my focus in a heated and lengthy election process that included both a primary and a run off election. We stayed on message and were successful on November 4th!”
“I have had so many compliments about running an excellent campaign. The whole message, image and look of the campaign was just outstanding and you managed to find my voice in developing the campaign materials.”
