PATRICK AHERN
POLITICAL DIRECTOR

  • Laurie’s work in politics stems from her background as a licensed clinical social worker, with over a decade of direct and administrative experience with children, youth and families in a number of settings. Laurie understands the impact the decisions our elected officials make in all of our lives. After years of volunteering in her community and serving as a Democratic committee person, Laurie chose to work full-time in state and local politics to support candidates that embrace social work values. Before joining Princeton Strategies, she worked on several state, county and municipal races in Delaware County. She found that her somewhat buried love of numbers was much appreciated in helping candidates develop budgets and finance plans and ensuring compliance with campaign finance laws.

    Laurie is also a part-time lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice. She serves on the Pennsylvania Advisory Committee of the Behavioral Health Council and Delaware County’s Children and Youth Services Advisory Commission. She earned her PhD in Social Work at the Bryn Mawr Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research and an MSW and MPA at the University of Pennsylvania. Outside of work, she can be found on the tennis court, enjoying time outdoors or reading a good book.

  • Patrick got his start in professional politics in the summer of 2008 as a field organizer with then-Senator Barack Obama’s Presidential Campaign in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. He and his team opened the first Presidential campaign office since 1960 in his hometown of Ambler, PA. After the Obama campaign, Patrick spent the next year working on a Senate Run-Off in Georgia, and the Presidential Inaugural Committee in D.C..

    Patrick learned a trade by working at a small home remodeling business of which he eventually became co-owner and operator. After several years, Patrick transitioned back to politics and joined Princeton Strategies, where he brings this collective experience and works with a wide variety of clients from state representatives to judicial candidates to issue advocacy groups. As Political Director at Princeton Strategies, he leverages a specialized ability to enhance relationships with stakeholders, consult on political strategy, craft media and communications campaigns, and execute high-quality fundraising operations.

    Patrick earned his degree in Political Science from Temple University. In his spare time, Patrick and his wife Stevie can be found cooking delicious meals at home, enjoying the arts and music scene in the City of Brotherly Love (where it’s always sunny), and rooting for the best sports franchises in the world. Go Birds!
