Olver

Rep. John Olver (D-Mass)

“Main Street Communications put together the ‘I’ve Been Everywhere’ ad, which had the single most dramatic positive effect that I’ve ever seen in my five campaigns for Congress…. With this ad we won in every part of the district with over 70% of the vote, and I still hear from people today who remember that ad, and remember it very fondly.”

Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY)

“In challenging a five-term incumbent in 2006, I knew I had to make the case for change, but without sounding offensive. Dave Heller’s ads allowed me to do that with humor, uniqueness, and a great visual quality…. I would not have won the election without the very distinctive and gorgeous ads that Dave Heller produced for my campaign.”
clients_McIntyre

Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-NC)

“We were so pleased with the work that David Heller and Main Street Communications did that we were able to run our ad, a 60-second ad, that received rave reviews and was wildly popular throughout our campaign and people still remember that ad today…. David Heller takes not only a professional interest in doing the job right, but also a personal interest to make sure that he best portrays who you are as a candidate, and the issues that you want to address.”
kaptur

Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio)

“We’ve worked with other consultants and always ended up at the end of the line. I don’t know how that happened; they probably said, ‘Oh she wins, don’t pay too much attention to her,’ and we always thought we got the short end of the stick. With David Heller, we always thought we were the most important campaign. He got back to us, it was done on a timely manner, always courteously, and the product was exceptional.”
Cummings

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD)

“When I look back on the campaign and I think about all the things that we did, the greatest thing we did was to hire David Heller, there is no doubt about it. I’ve said this about him to others and I know for fact that I would not be sitting here, in the Congress of the United States of America, if it were not for this great young man.”

CollinPetersonmug

Rep. Collin Peterson (D-MN)

“David Heller and I have the same philosophy on this: if you go negative in the wrong kind of way, it can backfire on you, and one of the ways that you can make the point without that danger is with humor — if you have the right kind of context, and we did that with a couple of ads and it worked…We went from 36% in there southern end of the district to 66%.”

Rep. David Phelps (D-IL)

“Main Street Communications said, ‘Let’s capitalize on your strengths.’ It was music, gospel music, and being myself, and I really appreciated that. They did a “Pop-Up Video,” a very innovative idea that said the working men and women are our strength, we put it out there in song, it connected, and I won.”

Rep. Ken Lucas (D-KY)

“Folks back in the Fourth Congressional District of Kentucky didn’t give us much of a chance to win this race because a Democrat had not won in this district since 1964. So what we were looking for, and we think we found it in Main Street, was a consultant who would do something different, unusual and clever … David Heller and Main Street seemed to understand better than the other Washington consultants what it took to elect a Democrat in the South. They thought outside of the box, and came up with an overall media strategy that was very, very successful for us. They were able to bring out the facts in a way that didn’t seem too negative, and I’m telling you folks: It worked!”

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio)

“It is a great creative production which you get our of Dave Heller and I’m glad to say that he was part of my campaign to get to the Congress of the United States and if he’s part of yours he’ll probably help you get here too, and then you’ll have him to blame.”
