WPAi is hiring yet another data scientist, right off our analytics and polling services powering the big GOP win in Virginia.



This is an opportunity for whatever right-leaning or indifferent/right-tolerant students and friends you may have (or you!) who are interested in a job in campaign sciences on this winning team, working on many of the biggest races in the country.



Going into August, our analytics had the race ending up at Youngkin +30k with 200k undecided, and 3.2-3.4 million turning out.  In the end, with a strong finish and our models' individual predictions underlying the campaigns contacts and decisions, it was Youngkin by 60k and 3.3m turnout.



Let me know if you or someone you know would be right for this opportunity.

Vice President

Director of Analytics
