NWP was founded in 2001 by Christian Sinderman. Working with a great team and outstanding clients, we've grown over the past 15 years to the be the most successful political and strategic communications firm in the Northwest. 

A native of Michigan, Christian moved to Washington State in 1998 to coordinate statewide field and Get-Out-The-Vote activities, transitioning by 1999 to helping  recruit and later direct U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell's upset victory in 2000.

An incurable generalist (some would say unfocused), Christian works with candidates, issue campaigns, policy challenges, crisis communications... pretty much anything where he can apply his energy and experience. 

Christian lives in Seattle with his family and a variety of pets. When not working, Christian enjoys coaching middle school sports, travel, soccer, photography and live music. He has a degree in Sociology and an M.S. in Environmental Policy from the University of Michigan. (Go Blue!)

Erin joined NWP nearly a decade ago from her native California, where she   worked for the successful re-election campaign of Senator Barbara Boxer, as well as issue and ballot measure campaigns.

At NWP, Erin's increasingly large portfolio includes serving as a lead for complex issue and initiative campaigns, working with candidates on planning, budget and strategic execution, and overseeing direct mail  and online production work. 

Erin lives in Seattle with her family, and a cat. Outside the office, Erin volunteers with vulnerable children, and enjoys travelling-- typically to beaches.  She has a degree from UCSD.

She has over a decade of experience in government affairs advocating for public sector, labor, and nonprofit organizations, and specializes in developing comprehensive electoral and legislative advocacy programs and campaigns.

Lily is originally from Kodiak, Alaska and grew up in a fishing and cranberry-farming family in Oysterville, Washington. She is a graduate of the University of Washington and spent much of her time in college studying abroad in Europe and the Middle East.
