Our mission
At Building Bridges, LLC, we are committed to serving local candidates who are running to make positive, enduring change in their community. Our experienced team of political operatives are here to serve you as you embark on your campaign for local office, and help you avoid the pitfalls that many new candidates fall into. Running for office can feel very intimidating, especially for first time candidates. As a result, many great candidates decide not to run. Our mission is to break down barriers for candidates who want to serve their communities but need help getting their campaigns off the ground. Together, we can build a bridge for the next generation of leaders seeking to enter the arena of public service.

A Manchester native of over 30 years, Blake brings deep experience in both the political and non-profit realms. Having started on political campaigns back in 2016 with the New Hampshire Coordinated Campaign, followed by various campaigns and roles on teams such as Joyce Craig for Mayor, Margaret Good for State House down in Florida ( a Red to Blue flip), Amy Klobuchar in New Hampshire and Massachusetts for the 2020 Primary, helping to handle the Out of State text operation for Joe Biden’s general election campaign in Michigan, campaign manager for June Trisciani in Manchester during her successful bid for Alderman at Large, and finally, spending the last couple of years working in the non-profit sector in the Manchester area. All of this has helped shape Blake into the community organizer and activist he is today and he wants to utilize these skills and tools on behalf of you!
Blake really enjoys working with new/first time candidates, as they represent a wealth of fresh ideas, energy, and the willingness to roll up their sleeves and be proactive on behalf of our community. In his spare time he can be found kayaking, practicing hot yoga, reading, running, or exploring the White Mountains!
