Who is Kristen Anderson?

Kristen Soltis Anderson is the Republican pollster who spends her days translating charts and focus groups into hard truths for conservative politics. In this 2‑minute episode, we sketch how she went from a young data geek to co‑founder of Echelon Insights, building new digital tools to actually hear Millennials and Gen Z rather than guessing what they think. Then we look at her real power: pushing the GOP to update its message for a changing country, even when the numbers say the old lines don’t work anymore. By the end, you’ll know why campaign pros, cable bookers, and college fellows all call the same person when they need someone to decode what voters are really saying and why you probably know her graphs even if you don’t know her name.
