From local school board races to presidential campaigns, Cory believes that working people deserve a party that fights for them. Cory is an experienced Democratic consultant with past involvement in over 200 campaigns, specializing in voter engagement among rural and first-time voters.
Cory began his career in his home state of Arkansas with Senator Mark Pryor’s reelection campaign and regularly advises candidates, political action committees (PACs), labor unions, and Fortune 500 companies to meet electoral objectives.
