Chris Cooper brings a wealth of experience to our table - having worked for over 10 years in the fields of general campaign strategy, persuasion mail and media consulting, campaign management and public relations in over 29 states and the District of Columbia

At MSHC, Chris has directed strategy and targeted communications programs for dozens of statewide, congressional, and legislative candidates. In 2006 he led the firm’s independent expenditure team for the DCCC, helping the Democrats win 8 House seats. He spent most of 2005 helping elect our client Tim Kaine Governor of Virginia. Chris handled our 2004 work with the Democratic National Committee and the Kerry-Edwards campaign. Also in 2004, he directed and targeted award-winning persuasion mail for the DCCC that led to the defeat of the longest-serving Republican in the U.S. House, Phil Crane, and the Democratic pick-up of a Republican seat in Colorado. And he helped Congressman Chet Edwards become the only targeted Texas Democrat to win re-election. Some of Chris’ other clients include the Virginia House Democratic Caucus,  Congressmen Zack Space (D-OH), Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) and David Price (D-NC).

A graduate of Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, Chris frequently lectures at colleges and political training seminars. He lives in Washington, DC with his wife Elizabeth and daughter Lucy.
