Mind On My Money: Will Carle

On today's show, I interview Louisville, KY campaign fundraising expert, Will Carle who is the Founder and President of Mighty Development. A veteran of State Government, political campaigns, and public relations – this diverse professional background led him to create the company Mighty Development.

Will has served as a top-level campaign adviser to some of the most well-known and influential policymakers in Kentucky. He is best known for his work with municipal candidates having been an integral part of former Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson’s political team as well as current Mayor Greg Fischer’s first campaign organization. Will served as the Finance Director for Lexington Mayor Jim Gray’s U.S. Senate campaign and has served as campaign manager to former State Auditor Adam Edelen. Other clients include former Attorney General Jack Conway, State Senator Perry Clark, Councilman Bill Hollander, and former Lt. Governor Daniel Mongiardo.

Public service has always been important to Will and over the years he has served the Commonwealth of Kentucky in wide-ranging executive roles. Serving as a top aide to the Governor’s Chief-of-Staff, Will worked on a diverse number of issues that affected small businesses, large corporations, and non-profits. Will also served under the Director of the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security and was the Deputy Chief-of-Staff for the Kentucky Auditor of Public Accounts.

Will left state government to pursue opportunities in the private sector where he gained experience in public relations and public affairs. While working for two of Kentucky’s most successful PR firms, RunSwitch Public Relations and Peritus Public Relations, Will worked on issue advocacy campaigns, media relations, alliance development, and special projects for a wide array of clients.
