Built by Someone Who's Done the Work
Alpine Data Strategies is a Republican-aligned political data and communications consultancy founded by someone who spent nearly a decade on Capitol Hill building exactly the kind of programs we help clients run today. We know what sophisticated outreach looks like from the inside — and we know how rarely it actually happens.
What Alpine Data Does
Alpine Data Strategies operates at the intersection of strategy, data, and technology — helping Senate and House offices, campaigns, PACs, and advocacy organizations build outreach programs that actually engage the people they're trying to reach. Not just send emails. Not just hit a volume number. Actually engage.
We manage the full communications stack: from brokering strategic data acquisitions and building audience infrastructure, to running ongoing email programs, SMS outreach, virtual town halls, direct mail, and multi-channel advocacy campaigns. Engagements range from focused project work to long-term retainer partnerships where we function as an extension of your team.
Every engagement is built compliance-first — with the franking rules, ethics regulations, and technical requirements that govern each client type baked into the strategy from day one, not bolted on at the end.
Three Verticals, One Approach
Each client type has its own compliance framework, data environment, and strategic goals. We tailor our engagement model to fit — but the core philosophy is the same across all three: quality data, disciplined targeting, and content that treats people like people.

Austin Stonebraker
Austin Stonebraker founded Alpine Data Strategies to bring the kind of sophisticated, data-driven outreach that powers modern campaigns into the official and advocacy worlds — where most operations are still significantly underutilizing the tools available to them.
Before founding Alpine Data, Austin spent nearly a decade on Capitol Hill, with senior roles in the offices of Senator John Cornyn, Senator Katie Britt, Congressman Patrick McHenry at the House Financial Services Committee, Congressman Greg Walden at the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Congressman Steve Womack at the House Budget Committee. During his in-house tenure, he built and managed one of the largest constituent communications programs in the Senate — growing an opt-out email database to more than 9 million constituents and delivering roughly 10 million unique, targeted emails per month for a single member.
His work has consistently produced industry-leading results — open rates as high as 80 percent — driven by sophisticated segmentation across more than 400 constituent characteristics. That track record is the foundation of Alpine Data's core thesis: engaged audience growth, not raw list size, is what makes a communications program effective.
At Alpine Data, Austin leads engagements across strategic data acquisition, database development and hygiene, audience segmentation, email program management, SMS outreach, virtual town halls, direct mail strategy, survey programs, and multi-channel advocacy campaigns — working with best-in-class, SAA-approved platforms and implementation partners across all three verticals.
Based in Alexandria, Virginia, and originally from Chester County, Pennsylvania, Austin brings a rare combination of Hill operational experience, hands-on technical fluency, and a compliance-first mindset shaped by years of navigating franking rules, ethics regulations, and the unique constraints of official communications.
