POLITICOM STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS
OUR STORY
Our Journey Begins
Politicom was founded 1978 in Baltimore by Ken Lorick, Bob Holmes and the firm's Managing Partner, Arthur W. Murphy - a pioneering election consultant and campaign manager who was a member of one of Baltimore's most prominent political families. 
One of five children of prominent civil rights activists William H. Murphy Sr. and Madeline W. Murphy, Arthur Murphy spent almost 40 years in the political trenches starting in 1970, when he managed his father's breakthrough victory in a race for a judgeship on Baltimore's then white-dominated Municipal Court. Over the years, Politicom would go on to run many winning political campaigns in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Among their clients were former Virginia Govs. L. Douglas Wilder and Chuck Robb, who later was a U.S. senator, and state Sen. John A. Pica Jr. Mayor Sheila Dixon said that she had known Mr. Murphy for a long time and that Politicom helped on several of her campaigns. They successfully ran the Conaway citywide campaigns, recently getting Belinda Conaway elected twice as Baltimore's Register of Wills, and currently represents clients in six different states.
