New Partners

What New Partners does

New Partners is a privately held, founder-owned progressive political consulting and outreach firm headquartered in Washington, D.C. Founded in 2008 by Jerry Samargia, the company delivers a suite of outreach services to Democratic political campaigns, progressive nonprofits, advocacy organizations, labor unions, and political action committees at the federal, state, and local levels. Its core offerings include teleservices (phone outreach), peer-to-peer SMS texting, voter identification, fundraising and donor development, and political polling and modeling. The firm self-reports involvement in prominent progressive engagements over the past two decades, including leadership roles in the Obama 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns and as a leading phone vendor for the Democratic National Committee in 2010 and 2012.

The company's operational backbone is a set of company-owned contact centers staffed by union employees, equipped with a predictive dialing platform and supported by a dedicated quality assurance team and an in-house IT function that produces daily data and detailed reports for clients. Bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking agents are a stated capability, and the firm extends its product surface through Blu Contact, a sub-brand offering self-service volunteer-driven texting and calling. The go-to-market is direct and consultative: pricing is quote-based, project-based, and typically structured around multi-year engagements, with leads sourced through the company website, a published phone number, and a contact form.

Revenue is generated through customized professional services engagements scoped to each client's outreach objectives. The firm does not publicly disclose pricing, revenue, or contract terms, but emphasizes that owning its contact centers enables it to offer 'the best pricing in the industry.' Its customer base spans hundreds of individual campaigns and institutional progressive clients, including Democratic committees at national and state levels, labor unions, PACs, and advocacy nonprofits, with service delivery confined to the United States.
