They Helped Plan the January 6 Rally. Now Their Events Company Is Raking in Millions in Government Contracts

"Event Strategies, a Virginia-based firm with deep ties to Trumpworld, has negotiated a contract with the General Services Administration that could be worth up to $100 million over the next 15 years. It's a remarkable rise for the 26-year-old firm, which until the recent windfall had received what appeared to be around $50,000 dollars in government contracts over the past decade."

"It also appears that Event Strategies won these new contracts with very little competition. According to HigherGov, a tool used by contractors to track federal and state contracts, Event Strategies was the only company to bid on eight of the 11 contracts tracked by the site."

"In early 2025, the US Semiquincentennial Commission, a bipartisan group established in 2016 to coordinate the celebrations, cut ties with Precision Strategies, an event planning group founded by Obama-era staffers. Soon after, the commission hired Event Strategies to replace them."

Event Strategies, a 26-year-old Virginia-based company with ties to Trumpworld and associates who helped organize the January 6, 2021 rally, has rapidly secured substantial government contracts worth over $26 million. The firm previously received approximately $50,000 in government contracts over a decade but now has negotiated a General Services Administration contract potentially worth up to $100 million over 15 years. Most contracts relate to America 250, an 18-month commemoration of the Declaration of Independence's 250th anniversary. Event Strategies replaced Precision Strategies, founded by Obama-era staffers, after the US Semiquincentennial Commission severed ties with them in early 2025. The company won these contracts with minimal competition, being the sole bidder on eight of eleven tracked contracts, including a $5 million Navy anniversary event contract and additional agreements totaling millions.
