Jared Small -  Former Guest Speaker at the Leadership Institute

As The Lukens Company’s Voter Contact Strategist, Jared uses his expertise with data-driven voter-targeting techniques, along with his gut-level understanding of the images and themes that resonate with people, to deliver aggressive voter-contact programs that get people’s attention and – most importantly – move votes in your direction.

Whether it’s a ballot initiative or a local, state, or federal candidate for office, Jared takes pride in drilling down into the survey research, utilizing emerging technologies, and combining it all with award-winning creative work to get his client’s message across to the people who most need to
hear it. His clients have included: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Jack Kingston for U.S. Senate, more than a dozen candidates for the House of Representatives, and the Indiana Senate Majority Campaign Committee.

Prior to joining The Lukens Company, Jared ran Get-Out-The-Vote operations for the National Rifle Association, and served in the legislative office of a United States Senator.

Jared’s love of politics emerged early on in his life. As a child watching the Monica Lewinsky debacle unfold, he grew so irritated upon hearing President Clinton argue the definition of the word “is,” that he threw his pillow at the TV set and knocked off the antenna. The offense earned him an evening of solitary confinement in his room, but he has maintained his passion for clear, straightforward use of the English language, which continues to serve his clients well.
