Cleveland (May 4, 2021) – Burges & Burges Strategists is proud to announce that it has been awarded a coveted Gold Pollie Award from the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC), the industry’s highest honor bestowed upon political consultants at the national and international level. Burges & Burges Strategists won a Gold Pollie in the category of Television – Ballot Initiative Division for its exemplary work on Columbus State Community College’s levy campaign during the 2020 political season.
“We’re thankful that the AAPC recognized our firm for this important work,” said Dr. Bill Burges, the company’s founder and chairman, “but we’re even more grateful that we helped inspire voters to support a great institution like Columbus State.”

The AAPC announced this year’s winners during the 2021 Pollie Awards Virtual Ceremony on April 29, 2021. Over 650 of the industry’s leading professionals attended the event.
“2020 was the most challenging year in our lifetimes - for our country, our families and our work,” AAPC President Rose Kapolczynski said. “Political consultants experimented, innovated, and delivered for their clients. The record-breaking number of entries demonstrates that competition was tough in an election cycle that saw more money raised for campaigns than ever before.
“While the work might have been done at the kitchen table, with dogs barking in the background and a video chat that wouldn’t end, consultants made it happen for campaigns at every level,” Kapolczynski continued. “Huge congratulations to all the winners for being recognized for their contributions.”
