John is a linear thinker and natural problem solver. He understands the rules of politics and works with his clients to build strategies utilizing these rules. His strong relationships with legislators on both sides of the aisle puts him and Karner Blue Strategies in the perfect place to help their clients. If there is something, he does not know he works tirelessly until he figures it out. His goals are to be accurate and truthful.

John's strength's working with legislators lie in his ability to reach across the aisle. Serving in the NH House in 2002, he learned quickly how to work with legislators of both parties. With his strong focus on child advocacy he was quick to realize that children cannot wait two years for another election to have their needs and concerns met. Our job as advocates is to communicate ideas in a manner that both parties can understand and embrace. Karner Blue Strategies specializes in non-profit and budgetary advocacy, particularly relating to children, seniors and otherly abled individuals.
