TMPR represents a broad range of public and private sector clients and has a demonstrated history of working effectively for them.
We’re proud of all of our project work, but instead of bragging on ourselves, we’d rather let others do it for us. That way, you don’t have to only take our word for it when we tell you what we can do.
“On behalf of the South Carolina Republican Party, I would like to thank you for your help with the Southern Republican Leadership Conference.

You were a lifesaver!” — Mary Pat Baldauf (Former Communications Director; South Carolina Republican Party) — March 3, 1992

“I can truthfully say that no one did more for the Republican cause in this campaign than you did. Your work as campaign manager for our County Council candidate, Rock Adams, was just outstanding. You defeated a 16-year incumbent Democrat who had the credentials of the presidency of the South Carolina Association of Counties, and who had a big advantage in the amount of money he spent on his campaign. It was a great upset, and the most gratifying victory in the campaign. You did a magnificent job in managing that campaign.” — James F. Johnson (Former Chairman; Spartanburg County Republican Party) — November, 1996
