Amy Simon brings three decades of political experience to her work as a pollster and communications strategist. She conducts public opinion research on a variety of public policy issues, including climate change, gun responsibility, increasing civic engagement, same sex marriage, women’s reproductive health, equity in education, discrimination and many other issues. Her clients include state and local government, nonprofits, foundations, labor unions, and both political and candidate committees. She has worked on candidate, ballot measure and public education campaigns at the federal, state and local level in over 40 U.S. states, as well as internationally.
Ms. Simon has a unique background among the nation’s top progressive pollsters. She was a community and field organizer, campaign manager, direct mail fundraising consultant, and political director, before becoming a pollster – and she brings that diverse political understanding to all of her message development and message delivery research. Ms. Simon has a special expertise in conducting innovative qualitative and quantitative research on socially controversial and emotionally complex issues, and particularly in developing effective messaging and a winning record on ballot measure campaigns.
Raised in Massachusetts, Ms. Simon graduated with Honors from the University of Michigan in 1987 and was a lead field organizer on Michael Dukakis’ campaign for president. She is a member of the American Association for Public Opinion Research and the American Association of Political Consultants, has served on the Executive Council of the Pacific Association for Public Opinion Research (PAPOR), as well as a board member for Our Family Coalition and PeacePAC.
