Zack Sand managed my successful re-election campaign for the Indiana State Senate in 2018 with an overall 76% to 24% win. Sand is personable, reliable and cannot be outworked. He understands the political landscape and how to get things done. I would recommend any candidate or organization running a campaign to Sand Strategies.
