Campaign tech
with union roots.
We build the websites, donate pages, and rapid-response machines that Pennsylvania Democrats actually win on. Senior hands, prices on the wall, zero corporate nonsense. Let's win some shit.
Built for the party that knocks doors.
Most digital shops treat a campaign like just another client. We don't. Commonwealth Strategies is here to hand Pennsylvania candidates, committees, and scrappy local orgs the same firepower the big statewide campaigns take for granted.
We come from the picket line
No beltway gloss here. We came up through the Steelworkers and the College Dems, so we build like organizers: clear asks, real list growth, and zero patience for vanity metrics.
We know Pennsylvania cold
Lehigh Valley to the Mon Valley, we know the turf. Every site and program is tuned for the counties, county parties, and down-ballot races that actually decide the Commonwealth.
Prices on the wall, no games
What you see is what you pay. The person who pitches you is the person who builds it. No mystery retainers, no junior hand-offs, no surprise invoices.
Austin Wise
FOUNDER · BUILDER · ORGANIZER
The organizer who learned to ship code.
Austin started Commonwealth Strategies after years in the trenches - organizing for the United Steelworkers and running Pennsylvania's College Democrats. These days he's finishing an MPA at Penn, but the job hasn't changed one bit: build real, lasting power for working people.
That's the whole pitch. Every site, donate page, and rapid-response play gets built by someone who's actually stood on a picket line and run a field program - not a vendor who's only ever seen a campaign through a dashboard.
Real prices. No mystery meat.
Four ways to work together, all priced right out in the open. Stack them into a full program below, or grab one thing and go. Every job is a fixed scope we agree on up front - no clock, no creep.

Campaign work stays confidential, so names are off the table. The results are not. Tap one to see how it went down.
Their old site was a brochure nobody read. We swapped it for a recruitment-first machine: dead-simple precinct sign-ups, a recurring donate flow, and an events hub the chair updates herself. The list blew up off one well-placed capture form and a stubborn focus on the volunteer ask.
Smarter ask strings, a one-page checkout with no friction, and a clean nudge to give monthly. A leaky donate page turned into the campaign's most reliable money line. We handled the processor and compliance wiring end to end so nobody had to think about it.
The other side moved, we moved faster. Branded landing pages, a petition wired for list capture, and ad-ready creative all out the door the same day. Kept the org on offense for the entire fight instead of scrambling to react.
We know this state cold.
All 67 counties, and we build different for each one. What works in the Mon Valley isn't what works in the Philly collar. Poke around the map.
