About us
Isaac goff-mitchell | Partner
Isaac graduated from Ball State (Bachelors of Political Science), having won two national debate championships and been elected student body president. Isaac then went back for a Master’s in Organizational Communication and Professional Development.
Isaac’s career includes working for over 25 campaigns, non-profit communication experience, and experience as the executive director of the Hamilton County Democratic Party.
While serving as executive director of the Hamilton County Democratic Party, he oversaw the most successful fundraising year in the party’s history, swept the City of Cincinnati races for the first time in history, and elected candidates in municipal elections that were previously considered un-winnable.
Isaac prefers tough campaigns over safe ones, and loves working with first time candidates who are stepping up to the plate for their community.
When Isaac is not working, he hikes with his wife Erin and their pup Chester Mac, enjoys nerdy board games and movies, and plays recreational dodgeball and kickball.
alissa riessinger | Partner
Alissa is a born and raised Cincinnatian. She is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati (Bachelors of Science of Design) and the University of Texas at Dallas (Masters of Business Administration).
Alissa was a first time candidate for Ohio's 30th House District in 2022. Running on a platform of unapologetically progressive values, she was driven to prove that professional and successful campaigns are possible even in the most difficult districts.
Outside of politics, her career has included project management and customer success within several industries. Through these experiences she honed in on the importance of organization, time management, and keeping the big picture goal at the center of every decision on a project.
In her free time, Alissa enjoys supporting Cincinnati sports with friends and family, running with her boyfriend, spoiling her dogs, and doing a variety of embroidery and craftwork projects.
Chester Mac | intern
Chester Mac is Isaac’s son, and was hired mostly due to nepotism. Chester is a lousy political consultant, due to frequently falling asleep on the job. Chester will occasionally take pictures with campaign signs or merch, and this has been tied to increased odds of winning elections. Most importantly, he boosts office morale and scares away political mail deliverers.
Willie Nelson | intern
Willie Nelson is Alissa’s long serving secretary, despite the lack of opposable thumbs. Willie is a people person who loves long walks in the park, and standing guard while the grill is going. He came of age during Alissa’s days volunteering for Beto O’Rourke, and is a Texas boy as his name suggests.
Guida | intern
Guida is RGM Strategies’ newest hire. She reports to Willie Nelson, but he seems to be letting her run the show so far. She is still learning the ropes of being a campaign mascot, but once she has all of her shots, she will be unstoppable as a canvasser.
