Nicole Licardi Rabalais has more than 20 years of experience in political fundraising. She is the owner of a successful fundraising firm and is known for her strategic approach, strong organizational skills, and ability to raise money in highly competitive political environments. 

Throughout her career, Nicole has raised money for open-seat races, protected targeted freshman members, and helped defeat a three-term United States Senator. Several current Members of Congress have relied on her to help build effective campaign teams and fundraising operations, trusting her experience in high-profile and challenging races. Her work also includes fundraising for presidential, gubernatorial, and attorney general campaigns.

A native of Mandeville, Louisiana, Nicole earned a B.A. in Political Science from Louisiana State University in 2005. After graduation, she moved to Washington, D.C., where she worked for the National Republican Congressional Committee during the 2006 election cycle and later

Upon returning home in 2013, Nicole served as the in-state fundraiser for Bill Cassidy during his successful campaign against Senator Mary Landrieu.
