Senior Promotions at GQR
In Washington, DC, polling and research firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner (GQR) has promoted VPs Missy Egelsky and David Walker to Senior Vice President. The two have a combined thirty-five years' experience at the company.
 GQR was founded in 1980 by Stan Greenberg, who continues as its Founding Partner, and has advised the campaigns and governments of world leaders including Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton and Tony Blair. It also works for corporate clients.
Egelsky joined GQR as an intern in 1998 and has worked her way up through 'nearly every role within the firm', from data programmer to junior analyst to senior leadership. Her focus is on providing research and strategic advice for domestic political campaigns and organizations - successes have included helping to re-elect Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) in 2014 and to elect Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) in 2016 - establishing them as the only two women to serve as both governor and U.S. Senator in American history. Egelsky holds a BA in English from The Pennsylvania State University and an MA in Political Management from the Graduate School of Political Management at George Washington University.
Walker has spent half his 30-year public opinion research career at GQR, and in addition to helping elect Governors Mark Dayton (D-MN) and Tom Wolf (D-PA), and Mayor Bill de Blasio (D-NY), he has helped the Human Rights Campaign, campaigning over marijuana laws and gun violence prevention. He holds a BA in History from the University of Virginia.
In a statement GQR Partners Anna Greenberg, Al Quinlan, Jeremy Rosner, and Elizabeth Sena said the two promotees 'represent strong leadership at GQR', adding: 'Both have proven records of winning the toughest campaigns, producing spot-on accurate results in complex races, and providing their political and organizational clients with penetrating insights and advice'.
