ALG Partner Molly Murphy Recognized in AAPC’s 40 Under 40 2019 Class
The American Association of Political Consultants has named ALG Research Partner Molly Murphy to its annual 40 Under 40 class, which recognizes young leaders from across specialties and parties that have made a continuing impact in the political sphere.
In 2018, Molly was one of the lead pollsters for Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s successful race, one of only two Democratic pickups in the Senate, in a state carried by Republicans in 2016. She also oversaw victories at the congressional level, polling for Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley and Florida Rep. Donna Shalala.
Along with her fellow honorees, Molly will be recognized at the 2019 Pollie Awards & Conference on April 2, in Napa Valley, California. 18 Democrats, 18 Republicans, and four independents who work in political media, advertising, polling, and public affairs make up this year’s class.
In addition to their innovation in consulting, recipients met the standards of the AAPC code of ethics.
Congratulations on this honor, Molly!
