Who I Am

About Me

I'm Stacey Mars — a Democratic political consultant based in Greenville, South Carolina with years of hands-on experience building campaigns from the ground up. I started by making phone bank calls and worked my way to leading field operations citywide. That journey shapes everything I do: community always comes first, strategy follows.

I've served as Campaign Manager for state house races and school board campaigns, Political Director for a mayoral race, and I currently lead as Chair of the Greenville County Democratic Party and Co-Chair of the SCDP Black Women's Council. I understand what it takes to organize, mobilize, and win in South Carolina.

Whether you're a first-time candidate or a returning official, I bring the relationships, experience, and commitment your campaign deserves.

What I Offer

Services

From big-picture strategy to boots-on-the-ground organizing — tailored, full-service support for campaigns at every stage.

🗺
Consulting & Strategy
A clear game plan is the difference between visibility and victory.

Winning a campaign comes down to targeting the right voters and turning them out. A clear strategy gives you focus — who to prioritize, where to allocate resources, and how to measure success.

Message Development
Your message is the central guiding theme of your campaign — why you're running, why you're the most qualified, and what you'll do for your community. I help develop a message that is relevant to local issues, sets you apart from your opponent, and makes your values clear.
Voter Targeting
Identifying and persuading swing voters while establishing a clear picture of who to prioritize. Targeting goals drive strategy across all campaign areas. I'll help identify your target voters and develop a plan to reach them.
Budget Planning
Your vote goal is the foundation of your campaign strategy, and it needs to be the foundation of your budget. I'll help you draft a realistic budget and think strategically about when, why, and how your campaign spends money.
🤝
Voter Contact
Personal touches can be the difference between getting overlooked and getting elected.

Elections are won and lost based on how well a candidate connects with voters. I help build the ground game that moves supporters from interested to engaged to voting.

Phone Banking
One of the most powerful grassroots tactics — directly connecting with voters, sharing your message, and building real momentum one conversation at a time.
Canvassing
Door-to-door canvassing forms one-on-one connections that no digital ad can replicate. I'll help identify voters, mobilize for early voting, and execute targeted GOTV outreach.
Volunteer Recruitment
Campaigns run on volunteers. I'll assist with strategically recruiting, training, and retaining the people who power your canvassing, phone banking, and event efforts.
GOTV Operations
Get Out The Vote is the final push that wins elections. I'll assist with GOTV strategy, timeline, and outreach to ensure every identified supporter casts their ballot.
💰
Fundraising Consulting
It takes a village to fund a successful political campaign.

From grassroots supporters to major donors, a thorough fundraising strategy is vital to securing the support you need. Mailers, advertising, and events don't happen without a strong financial foundation.

Fundraising Events
From casual backyard barbecues to high-dollar dinners, events let candidates connect directly with supporters and pitch to major donors. I'll help plan small-dollar and high-dollar events that move you toward your goal.
Donor Outreach Strategies
The most reliable fundraising method is still direct outreach. I'll assist with candidate call-time, digital fundraising, text banking, and leveraging personal networks and community ties to secure maximum contributions.
📋
Campaign Management
Great campaigns don't run themselves — they need steady hands at every stage.

Campaign management means planning, leading, and overseeing every moving part of your campaign throughout the entire election cycle — from launch through Election Night.

Day-to-Day Management
Working closely with the candidate, staff, and volunteers to execute the campaign plan efficiently and effectively. This includes solidifying messaging and policy positions, hiring and managing staff, crafting and maintaining the budget, overseeing voter outreach and fundraising, and ensuring compliance with all relevant campaign finance laws.
