WesleyDonehue
Political strategist, author and entrepreneur. Thirty years in rooms where the outcome mattered.
Wesley Donehue has spent three decades advising the people who run for office and the people who lead. His clients have included U.S. senators, members of Congress and state legislative leaders, and his work has covered every level of government, from town council to president of the United States.
He founded Push Digital Group and built it into one of the largest political firms in the country before selling it in 2026. He now brings that experience to a small number of leaders and organizations as a private advisor.
He is the author of Under Fire: 13 Rules for Surviving Cancel Culture and Other Crises, a field guide for leaders whose reputations are on the line.
Where to stand
Positioning
The one thing you should own in the minds of voters, customers, investors or regulators, and the language that claims it.
What people believe
Reputation
Protecting the name you've built, and taking control fast when a story, a hearing or a crisis tries to take it from you.
What to do now
The Hard Call
A trusted second opinion on the decisions that are hard to reverse: the run, the deal, the hire, the statement, the fight.
Make the call.
- You’re thinking about running for office.
- Your company has a brand reputation or political issue.
- Your advocacy group needs to make progress on legislation.
- You need to bring people together to get something across the finish line.
