Eric Sapp
Founding Partner
Eric Sapp has spent his career seeking to empower the better angels of American values in pursuit of policies and politics that promote the common good.
As a founder of Common Good Strategies, which later became the Eleison Group, Eric pioneered values-based communication and Democratic faith and rural outreach during the 2006 and 2008 elections. Over the past decade, Eric has worked on numerous advocacy and democracy-building campaigns, while overseeing Eleison's work to leverage voter response data from those campaigns to create one of the largest values/behavioral voter databases and most sophisticated digital advertising platforms in the country. Eric co-founded a new company built from that data asset, Public Democracy, where he serves as President.
Eric's focus on shared values and the need to realign broader political, economic, and other power systems to better serve the common good has enabled him to work with organizations from across the ideological spectrum on key projects in the advocacy space, overseeing successful campaigns on everything from international issues of peace, counter-terrorism, and foreign aid to domestic campaigns around pollution control, hunger, and supporting veterans and victims of terrorism.
