This FREE First Fed Community Conversation will take place at Field Arts & Events Hall February 27th. RSVP at www.fieldhallevents.org/tickets

Join political polling expert Stuart Elway to trace the evolution of Washington from a “swing state” to a predominantly Democratic state over two generations. This conversation will also explore the development of tribal politics and its implications, as well as look ahead to the 2024 elections.

H. Stuart Elway, Ph.D. has been measuring and analyzing public opinion since 1975, directing hundreds of research projects locally and around the country for large and small businesses, associations, non-profits, foundations, public agencies from federal to local, and media outlets.

He directed the Seattle Times Washington Poll from 1984-2000 and started The Elway Poll in 1992, which became the Crosscut Elway Poll in 2018, the only on-going, non-partisan analysis of public opinion in Washington state.

In addition to being regularly quoted in Northwest media, Elway has appeared on every television network and been quoted in nearly every major newspaper in the country.

Elway, who holds a Ph.D. in Communications, has taught in the public affairs graduate schools at the University of Washington and The Evergreen State College, and has been an Affiliated Research Associate at Heritage University.
