Santino, a Gen-Z New Jersey native with a knack for media and politics, brings half a decade of Republican political experience spanning local, state, and federal campaigns across Florida, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. His work includes presidential, gubernatorial, and congressional races.

In 2023, Santino and Harris Media made history during the AI boom by leading the creation of the first interactive AI chatbot in U.S. presidential politics, supporting Miami Mayor Francis Suarez’s campaign. This groundbreaking initiative was a highlight of a collaborative effort that earned the 2024 Digital Campaign of the Year award from the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC).

Santino’s expertise extends to digital strategy for state-level victories. In 2024, he spearheaded New Hampshire Republicans’ collaborative digital efforts, helping expand their legislative majority. He also led digital operations for Bob Stefanowski’s 2022 Connecticut gubernatorial campaign.

Before his transition to digital strategy, Santino managed the NJGOP Victory program in Union County, NJ and before then contributed to key field efforts, including flipping two state assembly seats in 2021 and supporting Republican strongholds like Ocean County, NJ.

Outside of politics, Santino applies his digital expertise to empower statewide energy associations, nonprofits, issue advocacy groups, and small businesses to achieve their goals in the digital arena.
