Evans & Katz has made a difficult situation easy. We have a small volunteer campaign staff and their professionalism and knowledge of the rules helps us to report accurately and on time. Working with them has definitely been a plus.
Monique Clendinen, Chief of Staff, Delegate Donna Christensen
My experience with Evans & Katz has been highly positive. I have relied upon Evans & Katz for organizational support and professional services including accounting and compliance work. They get results.
United States Representative John Conyers, Jr., Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee
With the amount of money campaigns must raise these days, it is critical to have a compliance operation that is experienced and understands election laws. Emily's List wants campaigns to have a compliance function at the outset. Campaigns should definitely consider Evans & Katz when making this important addition to their campaign team.
Mary Jane Volk, Senior Finance Manager, EMILY's List
We've used Evans & Katz ever since we formed our leadership PAC, Badger PAC, in 2002. They handle our FEC compliance, our tax reporting, and they hold our Badger PAC checkbook. I think they are outstanding. They are super responsive, professional, timely, and whenever I need something they reply immediately. I know they have solid relationships with the folks at the FEC. Honestly, I've never had a single complaint about them.
Erik Olson, Chief of Staff, Representative Ron Kind
Hiring Evans & Katz was the single best decision I made in terms of hiring outside consultants to help with the campaign. There were numerous occasions where their knowledge and attention to detail saved us an almost incalculable amount of time and resources. For any campaign -- particularly a challenger race with staffers or campaign management who are new to politics and FEC compliance -- having someone like Evans & Katz on your team is absolutely a no-brainer and bringing them on should be one of the first things you do. I can't imagine where we would have been without them.
Jonathan Feifs, Campaign Manager, Sowers for Congress
Evans &Katz handled our compliance work for nearly a decade. Their team was always available for us, and there was always a 24-hour turnaround on our deposits, which made it easy to run reports and to see our actual cash on hand. The Evans & Katz team was always very friendly and accommodating with all of the requests we made. Working with E&K was a great experience and I would definitely recommend them.
Tiffani Llerandi, Menendez for Congress, Finance Director
I like working with Evans & Katz. They are very professional and responsive and they definitely know their stuff. They are always quick to return my calls and answer my questions. E&K also has a wealth of institutional knowledge about compliance and reporting issues. They seem genuinely committed to doing a good job, and I've always found it enjoyable to work with them.
Dan Kalik, Deputy Director of Political Affairs, PAC Manager, J Street
I have been working with Evans & Katz since 2002. E&K handles state and federal filings for our PAC. They are a ready resource. They stay on top of deadlines and due dates, and they know who they need to reach in our organization to get our reports signed and approved so we don't get into any trouble for being late. E&K is also a good resource for me when I have a question about whether we can go forward with a particular request. They know the federal and state campaign finance regulations, and I use them for a quick read about whether something is allowable before going to the lawyer for a final read.
Nancy Butler, Vice President of Government Affairs and Federal Relations, Chairman of AECOM PAC
I've worked with Evans & Katz on two campaigns. They helped to alleviate the pressures and stresses of handling day-to-day compliance, which allowed my staff to focus more closely on raising money and working directly with the candidates to improve the fundraising numbers. E&K invests in you. They become part of your team. Their response time is amazing -- it is as if they are really there in the room with you. They help you to take that next step to make sure you don't make mistakes that could really set you back. And I think that is one of the most important things. Campaigns need to make as few mistakes as possible, and E&K makes sure that happens.
Daniel Krupnick, Campaign Manager, Gary McDowell for Congress 2010
I've used E&K for state and federal candidate campaigns, for state and federal PAC work, and as reliable campaign friends. They were available day and night to ensure we did things in compliance and with complete professionalism. E&K provides everything a candidate needs in terms of financial compliance. They do everything well, from the basics of how to set up to specific questions about how to handle a particular donation. I've continued to recommend them without any reservation, and have had only positive feedback from the folks to whom I've referred E&K. Smart, ethical, loyal, and top of their game are my criteria; they are the complete package.
Barbara Ann Radnofsky

Nominee, Texas Democratic Party, United States Senate 2006
Evans & Katz served as my campaign's compliance consultants for virtually my entire tenure in Congress. The folks at Evans & Katz are not only experts in FEC and state compliance laws and regulations; they also know what it takes to run a successful campaign for office. They have experience in government and campaign management, and they bring all of that to the table. Their dedication to me and my campaign was extraordinary. They put volunteer staff on the ground and always, always helped out with any need our organization had. Through many ups and downs, the Evans & Katz team was incredibly loyal and hardworking--and I will always be grateful for their help and friendship.
Congressman Nick Lampson, Former U.S. Representative-TX
We hired Evans & Katz to help us prepare federal and state campaign finance reports, but we received a lot of additional value from them as well. The E&K team provided ongoing support and direction, including letting us know who we could make contributions to, how much money we could contribute, and other important guidance that helped ensure we were always operating within the rules. They provided everything we needed in a timely manner so we could make all of our filings. • I would wholeheartedly recommend Evans & Katz. I've known them for years, and I've recommended them to a number of former clients. The E&K team always did a great job.
Corey Rubin, Former General Counsel, Pitney Bowes
Evans & Katz provides FEC compliance support for my campaign and my leadership PAC, LEGPAC. They help ensure that we are following the proper federal regulations and procedures and that we have everything in order. E&K is personable, knowledgeable, prompt, and always available when an unusual question comes up. They are right there with us every step of the way. I have been very pleased with their service.
Benjamin L. Cardin, U.S. Senator
With Evans and Katz I have complete peace of mind knowing that the PAC financials are being handled in accordance with FEC rules and recommended best practices. I never worry about filings being late or incomplete. The experienced professionals at Evans & Katz are always responsive in answering any questions about campaign finance. Evans and Katz are truly an integral part of our team!
