Run for Oregon’s experience ranges from statewide races, full staff management and million-dollar budgets to School Board, Park Board and City Council races with an aptitude for smaller budgets and grassroots support.

Run for Oregon is owned and managed by Nichole van Eikeren out of Bend, Oregon. Nichole, an SOU graduate, organizer at heart, and mother of one, has made Bend her home since moving here in 2002.

Her smaller consulting business gives her the freedom to be selective and focus on campaigns that hold true to her core values. Inspired by new voices stepping up to run for office, she represents candidates who also value inclusivity, equality and a balanced approach to community issues. She believes in electing good leaders who will bring about positive change.​
