Client Testimonials
One key way to understand our work and the results we deliver is to read what our clients have said about us over the years.
“Pete is a talented and insightful pollster. I have relied on Pete and his analysis for the more than dozen years I have served in the Senate. From my first election to my most recent one, Pete has been a trusted and valued advisor.”
“Pete and his team have done my polling since my House re-election in 2010. When I decided to run for Senate in 2012, I faced tough primary and general election opponents. They predicted my primary race for Senate with dead-on accuracy. In all of my campaigns, I have wholeheartedly trusted Pete and his team for their outstanding research and strategic advice.”
“Pete’s work is superb. I have known him for almost twenty years, since he joined my first statewide race for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, and he has provided outstanding guidance through my subsequent race and term as Governor and my two elections to U.S. Senate. He provides our opinion research, but he is also one of my top strategic advisors.”
“When I first jumped into the race against a two-term, well-liked incumbent Republican Senator, pretty much everyone including me thought I was a long-shot. Pete and his exceptional team provided top-notch advice and research that helped an unknown challenger get through a competitive primary and that initial nail-biter campaign, as well as two re-election campaigns since. Pete has been and continues to be a trusted strategic advisor and pollster and key part of my political team.”
“Expedition Strategies has worked on all of my campaigns, from my first run for elected office when I ran for Treasurer through my primary and general election campaigns for Governor of Rhode Island. I rely on them to provide reliable opinion research that helps us make smart decisions about how to run effective campaigns. But the strategic advice that comes with that research is really what I value the most. That has been important both during the campaigns and for times when I have needed to rally the public to support my public policy agenda while in office.”
“Pete and Jack have been with me through tough House re-election campaigns and two campaigns for Governor, including my reelection campaign where we swept both chambers of the Minnesota State Legislature. I value their integrity, their honest assessments, and their smart strategic advice.”
“I had never run for Congress before and started my race as the underdog in the primary. I appreciate Expedition’s work to help us to develop and convey a message that was authentic, effective, and focused. Pete and the team at Expedition were with me every step of the way, providing strategic advice and counsel as well as excellent data.”
“Pete and his team get both me and the people I represent. I have worked with Expedition since 2016 – first in an unsuccessful statewide campaign, and again through my successful 2018 bid for Labor Commissioner (a statewide non-partisan elected position in Oregon), and then again when I ran for Congress in a competitive primary and general election in 2022. Each of these campaigns demonstrated Expedition’s excellence and personal attention. They provided winning advice and focused on my campaigns as seriously as I did.”
“Pete and Expedition Strategies were not my first choice as a pollster — the first one I asked turned me down because I was judged as unlikely to run a “real” campaign. They were wrong, but in the end, it was fortunate since Pete and his team have been critical to the success of my campaign operation. They do not provide the usual beltway advice. They listen to me and help with recommendations that reflect my views, my values, and my political reality.”
“Since 2010 Pete and his team have been my go-to polling firm. They do great work and are doing their part to rehabilitate the reputation of the polling profession. I am one political candidate who never doubts the accuracy of the polling data I receive. Pete and his firm do the work necessary to make sure of that.”
“We want to add our congratulations to you for being named ‘Pollster of the Year’ and say how appreciative of the work you have done for our candidates. Lindsey is constantly saying she can’t imagine using anyone else for polling, that your polling memos are the very best. Apparently, there are others who feel the same way. Again, thanks for all your work on behalf of our caucus candidates and congratulations.”
“Your help and advice in my election campaign is much appreciated. While we were always up against the odds, your expertise was of great help in denying a conservative majority.”
“I want to express my sincere gratitude to you personally and to Expedition Strategies, for the decisive role that you played advising my campaigns. In the first campaign, we successfully described the change we wanted to bring to the country, in this re-election our efforts showed the voters that we are making that change.
I value your role in helping to convey my message to the people of the Dominican Republic. Your surveys are always professional and accurate, and I particularly appreciate your analysis and the fresh perspective you constantly provide.”
“To Pete, who was always right with the numbers and the outcomes. Many thanks!”
