Rice Consulting has proudly supported Democrats in Maryland for over two decades. Working with elected officials and candidates on the municipal, county, State, and Federal levels, as well as with the Maryland Democratic Party and county Democratic Central Committees, we help campaigns raise the resources they need to win elections.
Where Vision Meets Victory
Our Services
Backed by experience and driven by data, we develop plans unique to each candidate and campaign. Whether you need help launching your campaign, fundraising, filing campaign finance reports, or communicating with donors and prospects, our professionals become part of your team and guide a winning strategy.
Fundraising
Rice Consulting will collaborate with your campaign to create a finance plan focused on hitting fundraising benchmarks and funding your budget. When it's time to make fundraising asks of your network and prospects, we staff you one-on-one and guide you to reach your goals. Our priority is raising more money for you while keeping costs low, so you can keep more of what you raise.
Database Building
An accurate, complete, well-maintained database is the foundation for fundraising success. We can build your database from the ground up or update your existing database with new contacts from your district, the PAC, labor and lobbying communities, and contacts from our own extensive Rice Consulting database.
​
Our expert database management will guarantee your database is current and reliable and that you are maximizing every opportunity to contact donors. We systematize, enhance, and manage each client's fundraising database, maximizing your personal network and adding proven Democratic contributors.
Website Management
Websites are essential for all political campaigns, especially for fundraising. Rice Consulting can revamp your existing website or develop a new website tailored to your campaign. We’ll maintain the site to keep all information up to date, accurate, and accessible to your constituents.
Incumbency Protection
Rice Consulting will work with you on targeted voter outreach to protect your position.
​
Our Incumbency Protection Plan will marginalize or even eliminate your potential challengers, maintain constituent outreach, build up your database with new contacts to increase future fundraising capabilities and improve your favorable ratings and name recognition among voters.
Campaign Finance Reporting
Rice Consulting will work with your treasurer and the State Board of Elections to file your campaign finance reports accurately and on time. Because we reconcile your bank account and update CRIS monthly, your campaign won't be scrambling when the filing deadline approaches, especially during an already-hectic election year. We can even help you identify discrepancies and file amendments to balance your report to your bank account cash on hand.
Design & Development
A polished and professional image is a critical part of a successful campaign, and Rice Consulting offers a variety of creative services to help brand your effort. We design custom campaign materials that capture the spirit and message of your campaign, including yard signs, walk cards, logos, banners, t-shirts, lapel stickers, and any other type of campaign swag.
Rice Consulting clients have several options for custom invitation designs. Custom invitations do more than just advertise your upcoming fundraising events, they remind voters who you are and what your campaign is about. View some of our design work HERE.
Outreach
From legislative updates and volunteer recruitment to that final fundraising push before a deadline, e-blasts, and newsletters are powerful tools for engaging your constituents and keeping them informed.
Rice Consulting can also use peer-to-peer texting to drive support, increase event attendance, and energize your team.
