From Grassroots to Greatness:

YOUR WINNING TEAM IN THE POLITICAL ARENA

Welcome to Arena Campaigns

Our mission is to stand alongside candidates as their dedicated partners in the arena of politics. Inspired by Theodore Roosevelt's 'Man in the Arena' speech, we named our firm Arena Campaigns, because we understand the challenges and scrutiny candidates face. We believe that it's not the critic who counts, but those actively engaged in the political process, sacrificing so much for the betterment of our nation. With our unwavering support and expertise, we strive to empower candidates to navigate the complexities of the campaign with confidence and success.

The Man in The Arena

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

  • Since I engaged Lane Koch as my campaign manager, I have never felt more supported and confident entering into a competitive race. Lane brings an immense amount of experience, expertise, and passion to the work of running successful campaigns. She deeply understands the science, craft, and nuance of reaching out to and connecting with voters. Before you jump headlong into the huge commitment of running for public office, I suggest you first reach out to Lane Koch.

    Missouri State Representative Candidate, Missouri House District 96

  • Lane is a keen strategist, great listener, and a resourceful tactician. My team and I were inspired by her energy and her positive nature. She kept us focused on a winning path --- coaching and tweaking our campaign activities based upon competitive challenges. Lane is a brilliant “word-smither,” too, analyzing which words worked best to deliver important messages to our voters. Importantly, Lane is a person with integrity who cares deeply about the United States – we loved working with her.

    City Councilwoman, Ward 4, Chesterfield, Missouri

  • Lane and her team are sophisticated and trustworthy advisors and campaigners. Any candidate would be lucky to have them on their team.
