EMAIL: ADAM@PRINCETONSTRATEGIES.COM

Adam Erickson uses his experience in managing, field-work, and fundraising to give political campaigns a winning structure that produces high level results. Before starting Princeton Strategies, LLC, Adam worked on a number of political races throughout NY, NJ, MD, PA, & VA. In 2014 he worked for Congressman Frank Pallone’s (NJ-6) on his race for Ranking Member of the Energy and Commerce Committee. Adam had previously worked for Congressman Pallone as his Regional Director for Pallone’s campaign for US Senate in 2013. After that primary, Adam moved to PA to manage, then State Representative, Brendan Boyle’s Campaign for Congress. Although it was reported that Boyle was down in the polls by over 30 points to a very well known former Congresswoman, Boyle went on to win decisively in the Primary and is now the current congressman of PA-2.

Along with receiving much national attention for his work with Congressman Boyle, Congressman Frank Pallone, and Congressman Charles Rangel, Adam received an award for #1 Grassroots Campaign in the Nation from the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee as the Campaign Manager for a special election State Assembly race in New Jersey in 2012. He understands the need for professional level campaigns not just for federal office, but at the state, county, and municipal level as well.

Adam’s passion for public service is not limited to politics. He has worked with many non-profit organizations on creating a fundraising strategy. In 2011 he was on the steering committee that opened Agape Health Clinic in rural Pratt, KS. Now in its 9th year, the structure and financial plan Adam helped to create has made this 501C3 a vital part of the community, providing monthly free health care for uninsured individuals. After working with community leaders and healthcare providers to open the clinic, he was voted onto the Board of Directors and served for one term.

With a proven track record of successful planning and execution, along with dedication and experience in campaigning, Adam provides oversight and structure to ensure clients have a campaign they are proud of and a campaign that wins.

Goldia grew up in the midwest and attended the Univ. of California – Berkeley after high school. She graduated with a degree in Materials Engineering, was a four-year rower at Cal, and spent eight years working in journalism and graphic design through publications such as The Daily Californian.

She has experience in fundraising, but has focused on expanding the creative side of Princeton Strategies and is now the Creative Director specializing in communications and creative services.

demetrius coachman

SENIOR CONSULTANT

PHONE: 248-885-3443

EMAIL: DEMETRIUS@PRINCETONSTRATEGIES.COM

Demetrius began his academic and political journey, majoring in Political Science at Temple University in North Philly, and knocking on doors in NE Philly for Jared Solomon’s historic 2016 campaign. Originally from Michigan, Demetrius values what he learned from internships both on campaigns and in Philadelphia’s City Hall. With a new found perspective, he has taken that energy to nonprofits back home in Metro Detroit, MI and Washington, DC. All these experiences are now being reflected in his position here at Princeton Strategies.

Outside of Princeton Strategies, Demetrius loves to exercise his rhythm through dancing and is currently the Vice President of ‘By Any Means Necessary Dance Company (BAMN)’. In Middle School, Demetrius gained his outlook of community from watching people dance at holiday parties. He noticed how a large number of people on the dance floor, when they know the steps, are much more engaged and enjoyed their time compared to solo acts. Demetrius believes a community in which everyone can be involved and feel included is a community that will flourish and provide opportunity for generations to come.

EMAIL: PATRICK@PRINCETONSTRATEGIES.COM

Patrick has been working in Pennsylvania politics since high school when he began volunteering with MoveOn.org in support of John Kerry’s presidential campaign. In 2008 Patrick was accepted into the summer Obama Fellowship Program in Montgomery County. At the close of the summer, he was hired full time as a Field Organizer and he and his team opened the first presidential campaign office in Ambler since 1960 with funds they raised directly from the community.

After the Obama race Patrick worked on several campaigns including George Martin’s Senate Run-Off campaign in Atlanta, GA; the Presidential Inaugural Committee in Washington, D.C., and the Montgomery County’s Judicial Campaign which resulted in the historic election of Lois Murphy, Montco’s first Democratic female Judge on the Court of Common Pleas.

Patrick eventually took a step back from political work in order to earn his degree in Political Science from Temple University. After graduating he found success with a Home Remodeling company, which he owned and operated, and continued to volunteer on campaigns when time would allow. After 7 years Patrick knew his true passion never left politics and re-enter the political world with Princeton Strategies, originally taking a Field Director position with a City Council race in Philadelphia. After the campaign he immediately decided to sign on full time with Princeton, and is currently providing fundraising and organizing advice to clients in Philadelphia and Montgomery County.

Patrick has been happily married since May of 2018. He and his wife, Stefanie, live with their chihuahua, Brownie, in Northern Liberties. In their free time they can be found going for long walks with Brownie, cooking delicious meals at home, and catching comedy shows and concerts in the city.
