Laura Occhipinti, Owner

Laura Occhipinti dove into politics before the Cheetos' infamous escalator ride, kicking off with the 2015 "Glen Rock for Change" campaign. Her efforts propelled five of six candidates to victory, including Glen Rock's first Democratic mayor. 

As a campaign manager, she maintained a perfect record, winning six local elections and proving her unmatched skill in strategy, messaging, and management.

By 2023, Laura expanded her expertise statewide, training campaign teams and coaching candidates across New Jersey. She also managed a winning social media campaign that helped flip a long-held Republican seat—a testament to her savvy and determination.

Laura doesn’t just plan campaigns; she shows up. She's hosted fundraisers, petition parties, phone-banked, text-banked, and knocked on countless doors. She co-founded Glen Rock After the March, a Trump resistance group, and serves as a Democratic Committee Member and chair in her town.

Beyond politics, Laura’s an environmental advocate, supporting the Green New Deal and serving six years on her local environmental commission. At home, she gardens with a passion for veggies and native plants, loves thrift shopping, and joins her family in dog-sitting to fund vacation adventures.
