When two political colleagues, Grant Patterson and Jared “Reid” Pitts, first crossed paths while working on a competitive federal election, they immediately recognized a gap in how candidates handle messaging to voters. Their experience speaking with thousands of voters at the door revealed a common theme: even well-funded campaigns were struggling to connect because their media strategy was reactive instead of personal. After years of combined experience and work on more than one hundred state and federal campaigns, the two decided to join forces and founded Patterson & Reid LLC to fix this issue.
Co-founder Grant Patterson directs the firm’s fundraising operations and has helped raise millions of dollars for Republican and Independent candidates over several election cycles. Alongside him is co-founder Jared “Reid” Pitts, whose background in campaign management, voter messaging, nonprofit compliance, and commercial litigation supports the firm’s daily operations and the needs of their clients.
Before directing the firm’s campaign management and political consulting operations, Jared played a key role as a paralegal following the 2017 Harvey flood in Houston, Texas. During this time he assisted his former law firm in building cases on behalf of homeowners seeking compensation from the federal government for widespread property damage. “Helping families challenge federal agencies that failed them reminded me that public service should belong to the people. That belief drives me to support candidates who share that commitment through our firm.” — Jared Reid.
The New Era of Political Strategy
Political consulting has shifted dramatically in recent years, revealing a widening gap between what candidates promise and what they deliver once in office. Patterson & Reid LLC was founded in response to that reality. Grant and Jared saw firsthand that only a small number of candidates followed through on their commitments, while many others either lacked the integrity or the resources to navigate the red tape that defines Washington. They built their firm around a different model, one defined not by volume, but by standards.
They choose to accept only those candidates and nonprofits that meet their internal requirements for transparency, accountability, and domestic impact. Their selective approach stands out in a consulting landscape often dominated by larger firms willing to take on anyone who can pay. In their mission statement, Patterson & Reid LLC also mention that they pride themselves on offering accessible and cost-conscious services to smaller candidates, creating financial and operational structures that allow smaller state and federal campaigns to compete. They believe that providing budget-friendly options gives new America First candidates the ability to launch their campaigns without the financial barriers that often discourage first-time contenders.
Looking Beyond Elections: The Fight Against Human Trafficking
Human trafficking remains one of the most pervasive and under-reported crimes facing our nation, especially when it involves children. Awareness is only the first step in addressing trafficking. Patterson & Reid LLC believes that true leadership must push for bold, results-driven legislation that protects vulnerable children and strengthens the tools needed to stop exploitation. Their mission goes beyond election cycles and aims to build campaigns that fight for structural change and the safety of Americans.
As they expand their nonprofit consulting and campaign strategy services, Patterson & Reid remain focused on electing leaders who put their constituents above corporate and foreign interests, confront the human-trafficking crisis and the lack of investigative resources devoted to these crimes, restore integrity to public service, work to make living affordable again, and always put America First.
