LaPolitics Pod Archives: Fundraising with Sally Nungesser
In this week’s archived episode of the LaPolitics Report podcast (Spotify/Apple), we take a deep dive into the beating heart of any successful political infrastructure: fundraising, the mother’s milk of elections.
Recorded in May of 2017, this episode features Sally Nungesser of Nungesser Consulting.
She has raised money for a long list of politicians, including but not limited to former President George W. Bush, U.S. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser, Congressman Clay Higgins and former New York Governor George Pataki.
If you’re already a pro and want to hear best practices from other campaigns, or if you just need a brief overview of how professional fundraising works, this is the episode for you.
Nungesser leads a fascinating discussion on the importance of prospect lists, how fundraisers get paid, the worst mistakes candidates make when asking for cash, insight into internet donations and much more.
Nungesser opened her firm in 2006, roughly a decade after launching her political fundraising career on the campaign staff of late Gov. Mike Foster.
She has worked in national products marketing, as press secretary to late Gov. Dave Treen and as deputy secretary/chief of staff to the Louisiana Department of Insurance.
This week’s episode will also feature a quick look at the history and beauty of the Old State Capitol.
