The ancient Carthaginian General Hannibal once said, "We will either find a way or make one."  Saul Alinsky quoted the General in his famous book, Rules for Radicals.  It is with this same spirit and philosophy that Dave Fako approaches all challenges in his professional and personal life.

Dave has been professionally organizing and developing strategies for political campaigns, public policy organizations and private sector clients for twenty years.  Dave developed strategy for over 300 political campaigns including statewide, congressional, state legislative, municipal and referendum elections and has advised numerous public policy organizations and corporations.  Dave's diverse experiences in all aspects of campaigns give him the skills to develop practical, winning strategy for field, communication, media, and fundraising operations.  He offers his clients a wide range of experiences and skills, a vigorous competitive drive and a work ethic that is hard to match. 

Prior to forming Fako & Associates in 1998, Dave worked as the Communications Director to Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan; as Assistant Political Director for the Democratic Party of Illinois; and, he served as the Legislative/Political Director for the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Branch 825.
