A widely-respected national campaign strategist, Tim Garon has amassed an impressive record of winning tough races across the country. His breadth of experience is unmatched, having counseled candidates and elected officials in all 50 states. In addition, Tim has led successful advertising campaigns for several center-right super PACs and GOP outside groups.
Over the last seven years Garon has served as a media consultant to candidates for Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Attorneys General and national Republican organizations. His ads have helped secure Republican majorities at the state legislative level in seven states. In 2014 Tim was part of the team that captured the U.S. Senate majority, overseeing several competitive states for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), and again serving as a consultant to the NRSC in 2016 when Republicans held the majority. He handled media strategy for Attorney General Adam Laxalt’s upset victory in Nevada and helped elect Mark Brnovich as Attorney General of Arizona in 2014.
Prior to entering the media-consulting arena, Tim played a crucial role in House Republicans' historic takeover in 2010, serving as a Regional Political Director at the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). At the NRCC, Tim recruited candidates and assisted their campaigns with fundraising, ground operations, research, polling, media strategy and messaging, drawing wide praise for his efforts. Politico noted that "Garon oversaw 19 GOP pickups across 11 states for the NRCC last year, bringing the endangered Southern Democrat to the point of extinction."
During a previous cycle at the NRCC, Tim was responsible for 19 states and helped elect eight new members of Congress. He directed committee operations in California’s 50th Congressional District during a hotly-contested special election that still ranks as one of the most expensive congressional races in history.
Tim spent the 2008 cycle at the Republican State Leadership Committee, helping to grow GOP majorities in state legislative chambers and elect Attorneys General, Lieutenant Governors and Secretaries of State. Overseeing RSLC political operations in half the country, he managed a multi-million dollar budget and developed campaign strategy for hundreds of state-level candidates.
In 2005 Tim served as Political Director for the Republican Party of Virginia. He had previously managed top-tier races for Congress, state legislature, and advised pro-democracy campaigns overseas.
A native of Virginia and frequent guest speaker at political trainings and panels, Tim graduated from Vanderbilt University and lives in Arlington, Virginia, with his wife (Erika), daughter (Tate), and son (Bennett).
