Welcome to the first in person episode of Lunch with Shelley in 2025! We’re at the chic and celebratory Café Milano with my super fun and super fundraiser guest Lisa Spies. Lisa is the President and Founder of The LS Group, a political and non-profit fundraising and development firm. She has years of experience raising high national dollars and PAC contributions for campaigns and organizations and directs multi-million-dollar national fundraising efforts, including major donor events, PAC events and conferences of all sizes.
During the last election cycle Lisa served as the Director of Donor Coalitions for the Trump 47 Campaign and led efforts with Jewish Leadership, Women, Veterans and Farmers & Ranchers. Lisa’s other current clients include Senator Ted Cruz and Congressman John James.

Come join us with Cleavon and our new intern Diego as we talk about how Lisa came to DC and became the prolific fundraiser that she is, the state of fundraising and who does it best, how she met Charlie, shopping, food and lots more rambling hilarity that makes this lunch a can’t miss!
