Welcome to Political Trade Secrets, where we take an inside look at campaigns and politics. We pull back the curtain and investigate all aspects of politics and how elections are won. This episode we tackle compliance and treasury with our guest, Bradley Crate, founder of Red Curve SOLUTIONS. Brad is an expert on this topic. He served as the CFO on Romney 2012 presidential campaign and the deputy CFO on the 2008 campaign. Before that, he was in the Romney Administration where he served as a fiscal policy analyst and as the Director of Capital Planning and Policy. Before politics though, Brad’s background was on Wall Street working for companies like Prudential Securities and JP Morgan. In 2008, he founded Red Curve merging both his finance and political backgrounds. The issues we discuss are critical to a well run campaign and if not handled right can get you into hot water. They are also one of the first components of your campaign that you have to deal with.
