Why “Bullhorn”?

Some of my fondest memories from early campaign days are marching together with campaign volunteers and staff in parades. With my leadership qualities (and loud voice!), I often found myself behind the mic of a bullhorn leading the chants and keeping the energy level high. This is the literal manifestation of a group of diverse people coming together towards a shared goal, doing their part to advance the cause.

The power of that togetherness has stayed with me throughout my career, and while I may no longer be sweating through a July 4th parade, that is the spirit that our work at Bullhorn encapsulates.
