Who We Are
David All
David All is the Internet. And he believes you are too.
The shift of the World Wide Web to a place where real people spend a majority of their time persuaded David to start The David All Group, LLC (davidallgroup.com) in January 2007. At DAG, David works with a team to achieve measurable results through its campaign-style approach to modern grassroots communications. DAG's valued clients include blue chip companies, trade associations, non-profits and political entities.
In 2009, FastCompany tapped David as one of its "Top Five Trust Agents who are Changing the Face of Twitter." He was humbled to be named a Rising Star by Politics Magazine in June 2008 for his past and present efforts pushing and pulling Republicans to the modern world. In October 2008, he was honored to be named one of the "Top 10 Who Are Changing the World of Internet and Politics" by PoliticsOnline and the World e-democracy Forum in Paris, France.
When David grows up, he would like to be the mayor of the greatest city in America: Columbus, Ohio. Until then, he's pretty content Tweeting pics of his French Bulldog, Jackson.
He is the co-founder of Slatecard.com, called a "Facebook for Republican candidates" by Wired which is a utility to empower grassroots activists. In 2007, he started TechRepublican.com, a group blog focusing like a laser on the intersection of Republican politics and technology which in April 2009 was awarded the Golden Dot Award for the Best Blog in National Politics.
Prior to DAG, he served as communications director for Congressman Jack Kingston (R-GA), the vice-chairman of the House Republican Conference. There he helped position Kingston as the "king of the blogosphere" on Capitol Hill; Kingston won the 2007 Golden Dot People's Choice Award for being the 2006 Online Politician of the Year. He has also been a speechwriter for a U.S. Senator, a communications director for a Senate race, a campaign manager for a heated Congressional race, and a lifeguard.
David will tell you that Republican political genius Lee Atwater is his political hero and that he was most inspired by Howard Dean's campaign manager, Joe Trippi, who got this whole people-powered Revolution started.

Katie Osgood
Katie Osgood is an Account Executive and a Midwest transplant from Cincinnati, Ohio. Katie claims to have been born a Reagan Republican and considers her parents the most influential members of the Grand Old Party. Alongside her Mom and Dad, Katie worked on President Bush's re-election campaign.
A 2004 graduate from Miami University of Ohio, Katie was a Mass Communications major with minor studies in Political Science and Spanish. She was a member of many on-campus groups, including the College Republicans in which she volunteered on Congressman John Boehner'scampaign. Katie also co-hosted a weekly alternative-rock radio show with her good friend Lauren, which was broadcast live on the Internet and named one of the top ten campus radio shows by radiotime.com.
While at Miami, Katie was an intern for ESPN, lived in a house with 8 girls, and studied in London, England where she created an international advertising campaign for Frito Lay. Once you know Katie, it is clear she would offer her right arm to go back to college. (Fortunately for DAG, that's not an option.)
After graduation, Katie moved to Charleston, South Carolina where she worked for Elizabeth Lyle Gallery, CBS and FOX News. From 2006-2008 Katie lived in Lanikai, Hawaii where she served as Chief of Staff for Representative Corinne Ching (R-27). When she was able to break away from the Capitol and campaigning, Katie enjoyed Hawaii life by surfing, island-hopping, beach parties and watching NFL games at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings.
Lyndsi Thomas
Lyndsi is a recent graduate of the Communication, Culture & Technology Master's program at Georgetown University. She is extremely happy to be finished with 100 page reading assignments and her 115 page Master’s thesis.
A native Floridian, Lyndsi thinks the temperature should never be cooler than 75 degrees and would wear flip-flops everyday if she could.
She started volunteering for political campaigns during her senior year of high school when then-President Bush made a campaign stop at her campus. During her time at FSU, she was an active member of the College Republican chapter and interned for Governor Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. She was also a member of Seminole Dance Force – FSU's competition dance team.
Before DAG, Lyndsi worked in the News Analysis division of the Media Research Center before joining DAG. There she watched MSNBC all day, blogged about liberal media bias and edited video. Previously, she interned with the National Journalism Center and the American Spectator.
Besides politics and the Internet, she loves dancing, Seminole football and the St. Louis Cardinals.
Clare Burns
Clare Burns was born and raised in St. Louis, MO and graduated from Boston University’s College of Communication last May. After spending four years in the Bean, Clare is excited about her big move to the District and proud to be working as DAG’s Junior Account Executive.
While studying at Boston University, Clare interned at news networks such as KPLR-St.Louis and WBZ-CBS Boston, where she frequently wrote stories for the web, performed interviews, lived on FinalCut and learned the ways of a “So-Jo” (solo journalist). The fall semester of her senior year, she packed up and moved to the homeland - Dublin, Ireland. She studied Irish communications, politics, and history while simultaneously interning at ESPN America. She believes that if anyone claims that the World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world, they must travel to Dublin and watch the All-Ireland Hurling Championship.
In her free time, Clare enjoys all outdoor activities - mountaineering, rock climbing, skiing, running, cycling, canoeing, and sea kayaking. She also loves making short films and finding new, cool editing tricks with FinalCut. Her dream job is to travel the world and shoot videos for National Geographic or The Discovery Channel.
