Joyce Mercado

Office & Project Manager

CONNECT

Joyce Mercado joined Lincoln Strategy Group in 2009. Prior to joining Lincoln, Joyce was a school teacher.

Joyce quickly proved her value to Lincoln and was promoted to office manager. In 2014 she took on the added responsibility of Project Manager. In that capacity, she manages many of the logistical details for projects managed by Lincoln’s partners.

During the 2014 cycle, she was responsible for moving hundreds of political operatives across the country. As polling shifted in many key Senate races, Joyce responded quickly by organizing the plane tickets, lodging and rental car accommodations so these operatives could quickly land in a state and start working immediately.

The Alaska Senate race of Dan Sullivan presented enormous logistical hurdles because of the size of the state and remoteness of many key areas. However, Joyce organized the logistics that resulted in over 250,000 doors being knocked on. As one national political staffer said, “Lincoln’s efforts may very well have been the difference between victory and defeat.”

Joyce has four children with her husband, Dick.

Donna Reimus has been with Lincoln since 2008. In her capacity, she has tracked invoicing and payments for as many as 250 separate clients in a single year. In many cases, these clients have been multi-million dollar accounts.

In 2012, Donna spearheaded the accounting and HR components of a massive national campaign that hired over 5,000 people during a twelve-week effort. This effort culminated in over 100,000 hours being worked by field staff in five key Presidential battleground states.

Prior to joining Lincoln, Donna worked in the mortgage lending industry.

Reimus has three children with her husband, Jay.

Mascaro attended Arizona State University, studying Communications and Political Science. She is also affiliated with various local charities and organizations.

Christine Brown manages all payroll related issues for Lincoln. She joined the company over a decade ago as Lincoln was launching its first major national campaign. In that effort, she oversaw the hiring of nearly 10,000 people in four months.

In 2005, Christine became Director of Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable for Lincoln and stayed in that capacity until 2009. From 2009 until 2012, she moved jobs to a sister company of Lincoln and served as Director of Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable for Brand Development.

In 2013, Christine returned to Lincoln when the number of people on Lincoln’s payroll across the country continued to climb. Currently, Chris oversees all payroll and HR related issues for all workers employed by Lincoln on various projects nationwide.

Christine has three children with her husband, Daniel.
