Fulcrum Intel Named 2026 Reed Award Finalist for Best Use of Opposition Research

Fulcrum Intel is proud to announce that we have been named a finalist for a 2026 Reed Award — one of the most respected honors in political campaigning and public affairs.

This recognition reflects our work in one of Tennessee’s most significant elections in recent years.

In collaboration with StoryTeller and Main Thing Strategies, Fulcrum Intel helped develop and execute a winning strategy in a special election that quickly became a national test case. Our team delivered opposition research that identified key vulnerabilities, framed the contrast, and helped shape the environment of the race — contributing to Representative Matt Van Epps’ victory in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District.

The Reed Awards recognize excellence in strategy, innovation, and execution across the industry. We are honored to be counted among this year’s finalists and remain committed to delivering disciplined, high-impact intelligence for our clients.
