Jim Dear, a veteran teacher and community volunteer made multiple unsuccessful attempts to get elected to the Carson City Council.

Jim Dear then hired The Political Scientists to help him craft a more effective way to get out this message to voters.  We devised a new way of communicating with voters and Jim Dear was finally elected to the Carson City Council.

After serving three years on the Council, Jim Dear went on to win a special election in March 2004 to become Mayor of the City of Carson. He was re-elected Mayor to serve a full four-year term in March 2005 and was re-elected in March 2009 and March 2013.  The Political Scientists have worked with Mayor Dear on all of these campaigns.
