Christian Ulvert is the founder and president of EDGE Communications.

Christian has served on and managed several successful campaigns across the state of Florida, ranging from municipal, state legislative, state’s attorney, issue advocacy and statewide campaigns. 

Prior to his launch as a political and media consultant, Christian served the Florida House of Representatives Democratic Caucus as communications director and policy advisor to House Democratic Leader Dan Gelber during his two-year leadership term. His knowledge of strategic communications, public opinion and message development allowed elected officials to effectively deliver their message to statewide media outlets and drive public opinion. His strong verbal communications skills have led Christian to serve as bilingual spokesman of every campaign he has joined.

Christian’s diverse professional background ranges from crisis communications, legislative communications, grass-tops management and outreach, Hispanic public affairs, media buying, campaign management and strategic communications. He is described by top Florida Democrats to be “hardworking, loyal and innovative,” “a very effective advocate,” “extremely ethical and a rare political professional who knows how to get things done in Florida.” 

During the 2020 election cycle, Christian was tapped to serve as a senior advisor in Florida to President Joe Biden’s successful presidential campaign. Christian also served as the lead strategist and senior advisor for Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava’s historic win. In addition to his work on Mayor Levine Cava’s race, Christian led and advised over a dozen successful campaigns during the 2020 election cycle that include the re-election of Miami-Dade County State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, County Commissioner Eileen Higgins and School Board member Luisa Santos. 

Born in Miami with family roots from Nicaragua, Christian graduated from the Florida State University with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and a Master’s in public administration and Policy. Today, Christian lives with his husband in Miami Shores.
