What is a Michigan Political Opposition Research Investigation?

Michigan Politics, be it at the local, county, or state level can be a grind. It can also be dirty and teeming with misinformation. This is why Michigan Political Opposition Research is a necessary tool, one ASG can give you a distinct advantage with. The way we see it, the truth deserves to be told so that Michigan voters can make informed decisions.

The Only Question is, Who Will Hire Us First?

Political Opposition Research Investigation

Knowing as much about your opponent as possible is key to both offense and defense; and again, the truth deserves to come out. So what is Michigan political opposition research? Think of it as a very comprehensive background check on an opponent created to ensure accuracy while providing citation and verification directly from the sources of the information, often public records, and hard to find historical internet references. We like to think we find “the dirt” on just about anyone and given the public’s right to know as much as possible about a candidate, we engineer our research to go after the most impactful and potentially damaging hidden information available. Most importantly; the intelligence we provide is verifiable; no Russian dossiers or fake birth certificates here, only the verifiable facts. These facts can be found in places a candidate has long since forgotten or believes are impossible to find.

Michigan Opposition Research is also fully customizable; if you have a specific area of interest on a candidate, let us know, we can target that area to uncover the truth.

What is NOT Opposition Research

Like we said, this is not about Russian dossiers; our client’s don’t ask us to make up information because we won’t; we simply dig deeper than anyone in Michigan and provide intelligence that can aid in the election process, giving you a competitive edge.

Some other things we can’t and won’t do:

Tax Records
Cell Phone Records
Hacking of and Kind
Decoy Work
Financial/Income Records

Who are our Michigan Political Opposition Research Clients?

Our clientele consists mostly of local, county and state elected officials, including judges, county commissioners, state representatives in Lansing and township/city elected officials. If you think your opponent may have a checkered past or be involved with groups of people who could taint their political views, we are the people to call. Keep in mind that even your opponent’s connections, associations and social media history can come into play, so if you believe an opponent spends time with or is influenced by an unsavory Michigander or outside influence, it is worth conducting a Michigan Political Opposition Investigation to gather the evidence you need to state your case.

Important to keep in mind, no matter how small your Michigan Political Race, Michigan Opposition Research can be for you. Local elections can be just as heated as national races and separated by just a handful of votes! Michigan Opposition Research can make the difference.

What do we find?

The short story of what we find is “everything”. Think of it this way, many of the times that you hear about a Michigan Political candidate or elected official having something from their past come back to haunt them, it could be that there is a Michigan Professional Investigator like us behind the research and verification. Long forgotten drug offenses, drunk driving charges, sexual harassment allegations and charges, deleted social media posts, negative financial information, neighbor complaints, residential history, affairs and business failings. Not to mention an analysis of social media posts for key words to give you a better insight of what a Michigan candidate really believes versus what they actually say. Graphical analysis tools can depict in a visual format, a candidate’s connections, beliefs, history and even information about donors that might be of interest to an opposing Michigan Political Candidate.

If you are running a campaign, plan to run for office, or have a vested interest in a political race, be it primary or otherwise, and would like to speak with a licensed professional investigator about what we can find and the general costs associated with our services, we encourage you to contact our Birmingham, Clinton Township or Novi offices. Redacted sample reports are available upon serious request.
