Welcome to Political Trade Secrets, where we take an inside look at campaigns and politics. In Part 2 of our conversation with Lee Vasche, the founder of the Signature Gathering Company of Oregon reveals how to successfully petition on the ballot.

Lee details the common pitfalls candidates and initiatives fall into and then outlines the components of an effective signature drive. This is valuable wisdom for anyone trying to get access to the ballot.

Lee began in politics leading large grassroots volunteer efforts. Then Lee started Triton Polling conducting research for Fortune 500 companies,  political campaigns, and non-profit institutions. In 2011, Lee started The Signature Gathering Company of Oregon to help business friendly initiatives get on the ballot.
