Who We Are

FH Strategies is a Democratic political consulting firm specializing in fundraising strategy. We go beyond the traditional cookie-cutter consultant approach. Instead, our team acts more as finance directors and full-time staff, designing and implementing a customized and comprehensive fundraising strategy. We enjoy getting in the weeds to do what it takes to raise the money and win!

Partners Declan Hahn and Jason Fishkin have a wealth of experience, including serving as finance directors and consultants on multiple statewide races, Red-to-Blue and Frontline congressional campaigns, and as a fundraising advisor at the DCCC. Hahn and Fishkin have also built winning fundraising programs for local candidates in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia, New York, and more.

Declan Hahn

Co-Founder & Partner

Before starting the firm, Declan served as a Finance Director on a Frontline and two Red-to-Blue congressional campaigns and a New York City-wide campaign, as well as a senior advisor at the DCCC. Now with FH, he acts as a finance consultant on numerous races at the New York City, state, and congressional levels.

Declan Hahn graduated summa cum laude from Emory University and got involved in Democratic politics as a response to Donald Trump’s election in 2016. Since then, all of Declan’s candidates and clients outraised their opponents in every fundraising period.

Declan grew up in Philadelphia and currently lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife Claire and dog Ruthie.

Jason Fishkin

Co-Founder & Partner

Jason Fishkin oversees local, congressional, and statewide campaigns, focusing primarily in the DMV.

Prior to that he served as the Finance Director on a House of Delegates race in northern Virginia in 2017 and as a PAC fundraising consultant in DC for two cycles.

Jason is from Charlotte and majored in political science from NC State - Go Pack! He now lives in DC with his wife Elena.

Our Services

Every campaign is different and there is not one “right” way to fundraise. We will learn about you and your campaign and tailor our approach accordingly.

  • We oversee all aspects of call time - from going through your rolodex and prospecting new donors on the front end to follow up and pledge chasing afterwards.

  • Whether its a 10 person house party or a 1,000 person hotel ballroom kickoff, we’ve done it. Creating the invitation, helping find hosts, tracking RSVPs, managing the catering, and more we’ve got you covered.

  • We provide expertise and contact info for all the PACs and lobbyists in DC. We tailor our outreach based on the candidates geography and committee, maximizing your potential. For competitive races, we also help raise from fellow Members.

  • This is our bread and butter. We take pride in evaluating the unique campaign dynamics - your biography, the district, etc - and create lists to maximize giving potential. We then find contact info and provide a recommended ask.

Testimonials

“When Declan took over my fundraising operation only two months before Election Day, it looked like we were going to have to make cuts to our budget. Declan designed and implemented a fundraising plan that raised $2.25M in two months and allowed us to outspend the incumbent by a wide margin. If you’re looking to take your fundraising to the next level - Declan is your guy!”

Eugene DePasquale, Former PA Auditor & Dem Nominee in PA-10

Jason manages fundraising for my Congressional and Gubernatorial campaigns. Jason has developed many relationships with hundreds of individual, PAC, and Union donors. He is good with people, understands the need to set overall goals and driving detailed efforts to achieve those goals. Jason knows what it takes to raise money for a campaign!”

Congressman Tom Suozzi (NY-03)

“FH Strategies is the first fundraising firm I’ve ever worked with and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. As a State Legislator and single mom with a full-time job, I can’t spend 5 hours doing call time every day. FH created a fundraising plan that worked with my busy schedule and we raised more money than any other State House campaign in Georgia. My fundraising advantage was key to winning re-election in the most competitive down-ballot race in the state.”

Jasmine Clark, GA State Representative

"I could not recommend FH Strategies highly enough. I ran in a 5-way open primary and thanks to FH, our campaign raised more money than any other Assembly campaign in the entire state of New York. This fundraising advantage allowed me to comfortably win the primary. If you want to professionalize your fundraising program, you can't do better than FH Strategies!"

Grace Lee, NY State Assemblywoman

"When you run for office in a competitive race, the fundraising goals can seem overwhelming. Thankfully, I had Jason and Declan who went above and beyond in every of our fundraising program. Thanks to their efforts, we raised $500k in 4 months and flipped this seat and the PA House!"

Mandy Steele, PA State Representative
