NEWSLETTER: The Political Lessons Hidden in Christmas Movies

December 21, 2023

Everything You Need to Know About Politics Can Be Found in Christmas Movies

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Ascent Strategic.

This year, we’d like to share some of the political lessons we’ve learned from our favorite Christmas movies…


Ascent Strategic Hibernation

It’s that time of year again when our team takes time to be with our families, relax, and prepare for the upcoming year of campaigns. We lovingly call it our hibernation period, where, like the bear, we catch up on sleep we know will be lacking as November 2024 draws near.

With that, we will be out of the office starting on December 22nd and returning on January 3rd. However, immediate client needs will still be handled, and we can be reached in those instances.

Finally, from all of us here at Ascent, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We craft strategies to help you win.

At Ascent Strategic, we devise winning strategies for candidates and political organizations. We'd love to see what we can help you achieve.
