About Centrist Messenger

Centrist Messenger is a political advertising company that exists to offer a non-partisan channel for political messages to reach their intended audience. Centrist Messenger is not a political action committee or affiliated with any party or candidates, Centrist Messenger simply offers an outlet for the centrist views of the large majority of Americans who do not identify with extreme advertising messages that are now typical of campaigns in America. Centrist Messages can still make strong advocacy of a position and candidate. However, this advocacy cannot demonize the other side, focus solely on personality, or make false representations of the candidates' positions.

Centrist Messenger is a for profit company, but has no full time employees. It is the result of the dedicated work and imagination of friends and family who hold different political ideas, but similar beliefs about the way public policy should be discussed.  

Founded by C. Brandon Fletcher, Centrist Messenger was the result of a desire to bring key policy issues to mass media and to enable any eligible citizen to participate in the political debate. Mr. Fletcher holds an MBA from the University of Chicago and a Political Science and Economics degree from Northwestern University. His interest in public policy and belief in the power of great ideas was enriched by the Northwestern debate team, where Mr. Fletcher and his partner captured the CEDA national championship in 1997. His early years working on the Chicago Board of Trade lead him to the incredible creative potential of futures markets. These experiences and ideas come together in Centrist Messenger, LLC.
