Harper Lawson

Partner / Politics

Harper Lawson brings together a combination of state and national experience in political communications, government, and campaign management. With a distinct creative approach and an authentic writing style, he creates messaging and strategy that connects issues and candidates directly with voters. For over two decades, his work has elevated GMMB’s clients, campaigns, and causes to define narratives early and win tough races down the stretch – particularly in swing states and the more conservative regions of our country

Harper has led GMMB’s successful ballot initiative work to protect abortion rights in Kansas, Ohio, and Arizona – as well as developing advertising and media strategies for other statewide initiatives on public health, minimum wage, paid sick leave, voting rights, education funding, and environmental protection. He has spearheaded creative content that has helped re-elect Governor Laura Kelly of Kansas, Congresswoman Kim Schrier (D-WA), and Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon. In addition to ballot initiatives and candidate campaigns, he has written, produced, and directed award-winning ads for the Democratic Governors Association, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Senate Majority PAC, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, American Clean Power, and the League of Conservation Voters.

Harper has managed gubernatorial campaigns, worked as a communications director on the Hill, and served as Montana’s Chief Deputy Secretary of State. He currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona.
