Dave Contarino is a political strategist and business consultant based in Louisville, Kentucky. Dave Contarino has more than 25 years’ experience in political campaigns. As a former high-ranking government official, Dave Contarino believes that living in the real world (outside of Washington, D.C.) makes for a better political consultant.
Too many consultants live “inside the beltway,” in the supercharged world of Washington, D.C., consuming and trading political news and gossip all day long, says Dave Contarino. Even the best can lose touch with the day-to-day realities of citizens whose votes they seek to influence.
