 Gene Ulm is one of the Republican
Party's leading political strategists and pollsters. Gene has extensive experience
polling on behalf of successful U.S. Senate, gubernatorial, congressional and
state legislative campaigns since 1990. His political clients include
Members of Congress, mayors, legislative caucuses and business and trade-oriented
independent expenditure committees.
In 2004, Gene was the pollster for huge campaign wins including Senator David
Vitter of Louisiana, who made history by becoming the first Republican U.S.
Senator from Louisiana in all while avoiding a run-off, and Governor
Jim Douglas of Vermont, who held his opponent to fewer votes than George W.
Bush in one of Kerry's best states (58.9%).
In 2002, Gene was the pollster for huge campaign wins including of Saxby Chambliss
for Senate, Jim Douglas for Governor (VT) and Robin Hayes for Congress (NC
CD 8). In 2001, Gene conducted the research on behalf of Jeff Miller's
campaign for the seat vacated by Rep. Joe Scarborough. With Gene's
help, Congressman Miller emerged victorious from a competitive Republican primary
and soundly defeated his special election opponent.
During the 2000 election cycle Gene polled for three Congressmen on the DNC's
most targeted list -- Saxby Chambliss, Robin Hayes and Steve Horn -- all
of whom successfully defended their seats.
In 1998, Gene led Mark Green's winning challenger campaign in Wisconsin's
8th Congressional District. Congressman Green became the only Republican
challenger to defeat a Democratic House incumbent that cycle.
Gene has also worked for many successful legislative initiatives. Most
recently, Gene developed the polling strategy for the $7 million dollar effort
that defeated physician assisted suicide in Michigan.
In past years, he has polled on ballot issues including taxation, gaming,
health care, public education funding, and property rights. He polled on behalf
of the campaigns that defeated single-payer health insurance in California
and tax shifting in Wisconsin -- both slated to win by many pundits.
Gene has also polled on behalf of winning campaigns in New Zealand, Australia
and Russia.
