If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life, right?
Well, that's how we feel about what we do at J&Z Strategies. But even better, when you have good friends working by your side, the work can be that much more rewarding.
That's why we are thrilled to announce that we're expanding, and we've brought on Christopher Guerrero as the firm's new Vice President.
We've known Christopher for over a decade. He brings a unique and dynamic breadth of experiences to the firm and we know he will be an invaluable senior member of the J&Z Strategies team.
Christopher comes to J&Z Strategies from Planned Parenthood where he served as Regional Campaigns Director for the western states along with the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State where he served as Executive Director.

Additionally, Christopher has worked on then CA Secretary of State Alex Padilla's transition team for the U.S. Senate, for the Ibarra Strategy Group in Washington, D.C., for former California Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez, the California Democratic Party, and Hillary Clinton's 2008 Presidential campaign.

Beyond the exciting news about Christopher - we broke a firm record last week - earning a total of 17 Pollie Awards from the American Association of Political Consultants. We won the most regional awards - and the most combined total awards - of any firm in the country.
As a firm that started less than five years ago, you can imagine how surreal this moment was for us. It was also a testament to the incredible drive, passion and unyielding efforts of our team of which we are forever grateful. To view the full AAPC Pollie Awards list, click here.
