Layne Provine

Founder and President

Layne Provine serves as a consultant to Republican political campaigns at the local, legislative, congressional, and statewide level.  He has 36 years’ experience in campaigns for public office.  Provine founded his political consulting practice in 1998 and has achieved an 81% winning percentage in 446 campaigns since then.  His broad experiences in campaigns run the spectrum from managing day-to-day operations of multi-county congressional campaigns to general consulting, strategy, and message development for candidates at all levels.  In 2003, Provine opened Margin of Victory. 

Provine has produced electronic and print media and developed strategy and message for Republican candidates and conservative causes.  His mail has been the focus of news reports in The Commercial Appeal, The (Jacksonville) Leader, Johnson City Press, Kingsport Times-News, Tennessee Journal, Talk Business, and TV stations in Memphis, Nashville, and the Tri-Cities.  Provine’s experience includes consulting and campaign management in Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Provine has served as general consultant and media consultant to statewide candidates in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee.  He achieved a perfect 13-0 record in contests for the Tennessee House of Representatives in 2010.  Two years earlier, Provine led Tennessee House Republicans to their first majority since 1969.  Although Republicans nationally suffered losses at every level, under Provine’s leadership, Tennessee was one of just two states where Republicans gained control of a legislative chamber from Democrats in 2008. 

Provine has four times been elected in the Republican Primary to serve on the Tennessee Republican Party’s governing body, the State Executive Committee.  He served on the Transition Committee of former Arkansas Lt. Governor Mark Darr, the Advisory Committee to former Shelby County Mayor Joyce Avery and as Senior Advisor to former Memphis City Council Chairman Brent Taylor.  Provine is an outspoken leader for conservative Republican views and values.

Provine is a 1991 cum laude graduate of the Mississippi State University with a B.A. in Political Science.  He is a native of Memphis and resides in Collierville, TN with his wife, Jean.
