Tony Fabrizio has earned a reputation among the leading survey researchers and campaign strategists in the nation. His knowledge of and experience with opinion research (quantitative and qualitative), media advertising and crisis management communications enable him to excel as a political and corporate strategist. In 1996, Fabrizio served as chief pollster and strategist to Bob Dole's Presidential campaign. He also has served over the years as a key advisor to more than a dozen U.S. Senators, scores of U.S. Congressmen and numerous Governors and other statewide elected officials, as well as the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and the National Republican Congressional Committee. Most recently in 2006, he served as pollster and strategist for Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN), whose victory in the face of the Democratic tidal wave that swept through the rest of the Minnesota has been heralded in the national media as “one of the very few GOP bright spots nationally in an otherwise dismal election year.”
