Expert consulting for political campaigning

Tom Ognibene has been an expert in politics for 40 years. Mr. Ognibene met Mr. Joe O'Shea by chance after Mr. O'Shea graduated law school and the two have been working together providing expert consulting for political campaigning.

More specifically, Ognibene & O'Shea, Attorneys At Law, do consulting for political candidates and provide their expertise in election law. They help collect, prepare and file nominating petitions. In New York, candidates need a certain number of signatures from people in each district, so Ognibene & O'Shea, Attorneys At Law, enlist people to get the signatures they need to support their candidate, something a candidate could not do on his own. Ognibene & O'Shea, Attorneys At Law, are experts in this field and in the rules and regulations governing ballot signatures. There are technical requirements for the signatures, and it may be hard to comply with these regulations without the help of experts. Ognibene & O'Shea, Attorneys At Law, know the technical requirements and deal with the many objections and complaints which are filed against a candidate's petition.

Not only does Ognibene & O'Shea assist in ballot access and political consulting, they also identify voters who are sympathetic to their candidate and his platform through a confidential voter profile.

Ognibene & O'Shea will also conduct a "get-out-the-vote" operation that puts everything in place on Election Day. Mr. Ognibene and Mr. O'Shea also provide work on ballot security. In other words, they make sure people know what to do to vote and inquire if the opposition's supporters are doing unlawful acts like tearing down posters or intimidating voters. They will also identify people and make sure they vote and will build up their candidate's name.

Moreover, Ognibene & O'Shea, Attorneys At Law, provide assistance in campaign finance regulations, which includes legally required reporting and expert advice in established requirements at the Federal, New York State and New York City levels.

Finally, the firm will also assist candidates in, as Mr. O'Shea puts it, "learning the heartbeat of each district" so that the candidate can know his voters' wants and needs and can address the areas where people need government assistance.

So why are these services important to you and why do political leaders and candidates need help with their campaigns?

It would be extremely difficult for a candidate to run his own election, especially without knowing all rules and regulations involved. That is why any candidate running for office needs help from experts in campaigning and election law to run a successful campaign.
