Passion. Experience. Diligence.

Red Mountain Direct is focused on providing the skills and resources necessary to win.

Our founder, Zach Lautenschlager, is a 24-year veteran of professional politics, running and building hundreds of successful campaigns and political operations.

He is the past Vice President of the National Association for Gun Rights, where he worked to build and lead its 4.5-million-member army. He worked in 40 state legislatures and served as a registered federal lobbyist, put together and led the team which has made Constitutional Carry the law in 17 states, helped build and run fundraising programs which raised over $45 million, and created the National Foundation for Gun Rights, the organization’s legal arm.

Throughout his career, Zach has also served on and run more than 200 campaigns, ranging from local races to bids for state-wide office, and has a success rate of over 75%. He is an acknowledged expert in messaging, data management, door-to-door efforts, and direct mail programs.

He is the founding partner at Red Mountain Direct, a full-service political consulting shop with an emphasis on legislative project management, campaign management, high-dollar fundraising, email and direct mail marketing, grassroots mobilization, leadership and organizational management. Among their many projects, he and his team are currently engaged in campaigns for statewide office and for Congress and incubating new issue advocacy organizations to end abortion and defend freedom.

Zach and his wife Amy live in Northern Utah with their seven children, where they enjoy homeschooling, family music, entertaining guests, and every outdoor activity ranging from skiing and mountaineering to sitting outside on a summer evening. They are members of Berean Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
