Our Roots - The Management Team

WINNING CAMPAIGNS was created by Alan L. Locke over five years ago and since has developed into a major direct circulation monthly magazine serving the political world.


Prior to creating WINNING CAMPAIGNS, Alan was Vice President of Operations and Consultant/Director of Political Training at Campaigns & Elections magazine in Washington, DC for eight years. Mr. Locke has also been publisher of Business Magazine, a chain of business-related magazines with circulation in excess of 100,000 in the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

During his distinguished career, Alan was associated with the late Ambassador William Colby, former director of Central Intelligence for the United States. He is a member of the Board of Directors and Treasurer of the National Leadership Forum on Global Affairs. In addition, he has been involved in a number of political campaigns on national and local levels including presidential, gubernatorial and down ballot. His clients have included Campaigns & Elections magazine, the National Leadership Forum on Global Affairs, Congressional Quarterly, Inc., KCI Publishing, Inc., the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics, the United States Naval Reserve and the United States Coast Guard.

He is a national speaker on Media Relations/Crisis Management and Political Campaigning and Management Techniques. He has been called upon as an analyst of the American political scene and on foreign affairs for international political, business and academic leaders. He has served as a television guest commentator on political matters for a national financial newsletter.

Mr. Locke has been an editor and columnist for several newspapers and has also served as Director of Public Affairs for The Association of Trial Lawyers of America. He has been an Adjunct Professor of Management and Marketing Techniques, Media Relations and Public Relations at Boston University, Boston, MA; Trinity College, Washington, DC; Suffolk University School of Management, Boston, MA; The Washington (DC) Center and Northern Virginia Community College. He is a graduate of Boston University with a degree in Public Relations.

In January 2008, Jean Justus and Art Murray, principals of AmeriCan GOTV Enterprises, LLC announced the purchase of WINNING CAMPAIGNS from Alan Locke.  AmeriCan GOTV Enterprises, LLC has been involved in the campaign management industry for the past 10 years and their personal experience and background make them an excellent choice to continue to promote the needs of WINNING CAMPAIGNS' advertisers.  The company has supported the publication with its advertising campaign, supporting Alan's efforts since the beginning. 

"We're pleased to expand our role in the political field," Justus noted, "particularly with the involvement in what we consider the foremost political publication in the country that has earned its outstanding reputation among consultants and candidates. 

Alan will remain as a consultant to the magazine and special liaison to its established advertising clients throughout the transition period.  In addition, Alan and WINNING CAMPAIGNS will continue to collaborate on special projects in regard to the national political scene.

Dave DeMay, who for many years had worked in the advertising and marketing department at Congressional Quarterly and Campaigns & Elections magazine, has joined WINNING CAMPAIGNS as Advertising and Marketing Consultant. WINNING CAMPAIGNS is pleased to have someone with Dave's background and experience to provide considerable knowledge and expertise to the existing advertising clients. In addition, Dave will provide direction in regard to advertising promotions that will not only benefit our existing clients, but be of interest to new prospects as well. We look forward to expanding the opportunities that will be available to all of our advertisers.

We believe that the addition of Dave DeMay to our already experienced staff, we will continue to promote the success of WINNING CAMPAIGNS as the foremost political publication in the country.  The skills and personalities that have been added to the Winning Campaign mix will continue to promote the organization's outstanding reputation among consultants and candidates alike. 

As stated by the new owners, "We will continue in the fine tradition that Alan and Betty Locke established when they began WINNING CAMPAIGNS and we look toward a growing relationship with those who feel as strongly as do we about the future of politics."
