Bio
FM3 Partner and President Dave Metz has provided opinion research and strategic guidance to hundreds of non-profit organizations, government agencies, businesses, and political campaigns in all 50 states since joining the firm in 1998. In the 2018 election cycle, Dave’s research helped to elect seven Democratic members of Congress; guide successful ballot measures to legalize marijuana in Michigan and approve medical marijuana in Utah and Missouri; and win elections for the Mayors of San Jose, San Francisco, and Seattle through campaign or IE efforts. This cycle Dave has provided polling to Jay Inslee and Michael Bloomberg in their presidential campaigns.
Dave has also provided research to win some of the nation’s most expensive and contentious ballot measure campaigns on subjects including tobacco prevention (California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, and Arizona), health care funding (California and Arizona), reproductive rights (Oregon and Colorado), clean energy (California and Washington), drug policy reform (Oregon, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Arkansas, Utah, Missouri, Michigan and Washington, DC) early childhood education (California, Texas and Arizona), arts funding (Oregon and Minnesota), stem cell research (California and Missouri), transportation funding (California, Arizona and Washington), and political reform (California, Alaska and Illinois). In addition, Dave has worked with public health coalitions to establish precedent-setting soda taxes in Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco – overcoming tens of millions in industry opposition spending in the process.
Dave received his Bachelor’s degree in Government from Harvard University and his Master’s in Public Policy from the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California-Berkeley. His writing on politics has appeared in Campaigns & Elections magazine, and in Classifying by Race, an edited volume on the role of race in American politics. He lives in Berkeley with his wife and two children, and as a Wisconsin native spends much of his free time cheering on the NFL franchise that he co-owns with 360,000 close friends.
