Practical Political Data & FORUM Strategies

Over 50 years ago, Mark Grebner founded a small voter data firm in East Lansing, Michigan that relied on data meticulously keyed by hand on expensive, rented mainframe computers.  He quickly gained a reputation as the eccentric, go-to politico for voter lists in Michigan.

Decades later, Grebner’s desire to maintain the most accurate voter file in Michigan endures.  In fact, we’ve invested millions of dollars in building and maintaining the voter list that wins the most elections in Michigan.     

“​The Grebner List” as it is commonly known, has played a major role in electing candidates running for nearly every office across Michigan.  Over five decades, our success stories are in the thousands, with clients past and present walking the halls of our state Capitol, serving as mayors and county commissioners, school board members, and even sitting behind the Resolute desk in the White House.

But great voter lists isn’t all we’ve become known for as Michigan’s oldest, most established political consulting firm.

As a full-service firm, we are able to fulfill nearly any need of the serious candidate, campaign, or organization to run an effective, successful operation.  Further, we are proud of the many partnerships we’ve built across Michigan that allow our clients the ability to tap in to a vast network of specialists and practitioners, only available to PPD clients.

We’re in the business of finding the unique potential in every campaign, telling their story through well-thought out narrative, and bringing that discussion to the electorate by working with our clients to effectively introduce themselves to the right voters using a holistic approach that combines the best voter data possible and smart campaign strategies.
