Meet Elizabeth Newton
Elizabeth Newton has spent her legal career advocating for New Yorkers through public service. As an attorney with the Legal Aid Society and the New York City Administration for Children’s Services, she built a reputation for protecting families, representing vulnerable clients, and serving the community with integrity.
In 2024, Elizabeth decided to run for Queens Civil Court Judge. Like many first-time judicial candidates, she understood the importance of connecting with voters beyond campaign literature and public appearances. She needed a professional online presence that reflected her experience, explained her qualifications, and provided voters with reliable election information.
Elizabeth came to Digital Marketing Solutions International through a referral from another judicial campaign we were actively supporting. After seeing our work firsthand, they believed DMS could help Elizabeth present her campaign professionally and effectively.
The Challenge
Running unopposed does not eliminate the need for a strong campaign. Voters still want to know who a candidate is, what experience they bring, and why they deserve public trust. Without a professional website, many voters have no central place to learn about a candidate or find official voting information.
Elizabeth also faced another challenge. This was her first judicial campaign, and she needed to establish a professional digital presence within a limited timeframe before early voting began. Every piece of information needed to be accurate, accessible, and easy for voters to understand.
The Solution
Digital Marketing Solutions International partnered with Elizabeth Newton and her campaign team to create a professional digital platform that educated voters while supporting the campaign’s overall communication strategy.
Professional Campaign Website
We designed and developed a responsive campaign website that reflected Elizabeth’s professionalism while making important information easy to access across desktop and mobile devices.
Clear, Search-Friendly Content
Our team developed website content that introduced Elizabeth’s legal background, explained her qualifications, and helped voters understand the role of the Queens Civil Court. Every page was structured to improve visibility in search results while remaining clear and informative for visitors.
Voter Resources
To help remove barriers for voters, we integrated official election resources directly into the website, allowing visitors to verify registration, locate polling places, and access early voting information from one trusted location.
Consistent Digital Presence
Working alongside the campaign, DMS International helped create a professional online presence that supported Elizabeth’s outreach efforts throughout the election season.
The Results
The website quickly became a central source of campaign information. Visitors used it to learn about Elizabeth’s background, understand her qualifications, and access official voting resources before Election Day.
On November 5, 2024, Elizabeth Newton was elected to the Queens Civil Court with 162,412 votes and officially began her ten-year term on January 1, 2025. The project also continued a relationship that had become a defining part of DMS International’s work during the 2024 judicial elections.
Elizabeth was referred to DMS International by another judicial client who experienced our work firsthand. While working with Elizabeth’s campaign, that same trust continued to grow, eventually leading to another referral for Melissa DeBerry’s judicial campaign.
For us, that chain of referrals reflected something more meaningful than winning projects. It reflected the confidence clients placed in our team while their own campaigns were still underway.

What This Project Reinforced
Judicial campaigns are built on credibility. A candidate’s website should reflect the same professionalism, organization, and trust that voters expect from someone seeking judicial office.
At Digital Marketing Solutions International, our role was never simply to build a website. Our responsibility was to create a digital presence that communicated credibility, educated voters, and supported the campaign’s broader goals.
Whether we work with businesses, nonprofit organizations, or public service campaigns, our approach remains the same: understand the objective, develop thoughtful solutions, and deliver work that clients feel confident recommending to others.
In Elizabeth’s Own Words
“This website team is absolutely wonderful, a real class act. So many viewers were impressed with the quality and professionalism of the layout of my website. My contact is Tyler. Tyler always suggests good ideas and is very quick and responsive to emails and text, sometimes I text him late in the evening and even then, he responds. I cannot be happier.”
