About Jim Freeman, President of Freeman Public Affairs


For more than a decade, Jim Freeman has been a force to be reckoned with in California politics. His agency, Freeman Public Affairs, is known for its bold, unorthodox political work in representing local, county and state candidates, labor organizations, municipalities, school districts and public interest groups.

What Freeman brings to the political arena is an ability to reinvent campaigning, to make it relevant to people’s lives and to excite the public about the issues. His provocative, winning ways (85% success rate) make him a fierce advocate for his clients, many of whom include police officers, firefighters and teachers.

What separates Freeman from the competition is his commitment to his clients. He welcomes the underdog and the hard-won battle. He knows how to build and enhance awareness, persuade citizens and deliver votes for his diverse client list.

Widely recognized for his work in public affairs, Freeman has been awarded commendations from the U.S. Congress, California Senate and Assembly and Los Angeles Mayor’s Office and has been invited to be the keynote speaker at the 2011 National Association of Police Officers (NAPO) Conference. For his powerful campaign messaging, Freeman was awarded Gold and Silver Pollies from the American Association of Political Consultants in 2010 and received the only political-category award from Summit International in 2011.

In the current political climate, Freeman has the rare ability to engender trust, to undermine opponents with a sense of humor and to guide his clients through even the toughest campaigns with integrity intact – Winning the Freeman Way.
