Ed Goeas served as President/C.E.O. of The Tarrance Group, one of the most respected and successful Republican survey research and strategy teams in American politics for thirty-five years. Over those thirty-five years, The Tarrance Group elected hundreds of Members of Congress and U.S. Senators, dozens of Governors, and countless statewide officeholders. Additionally, Goeas served as Program Director for the 2008 Republican National Convention and as a key advisor for John McCain’s Presidential Campaign.

Widely recognized as one of the country's leading political strategists, Goeas has conducted extensive survey research on Health Care, Criminal Justice Reform, and Immigration. In recognition of the number of winning campaigns conducted by The Tarrance Group, Goeas and his partners were honored in "1994, 2010, and 2014 as Republican Pollster of the Year," by the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC).

Along with his campaign work, Goeas co-authors the nationally recognized "Georgetown University Battleground Poll” with Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, and in 2011 were awarded the "Distinguished Service to the Profession Award" by AAPC. Last November Goeas and Lake released “A Question of Respect – Bringing Us Together in a Deeply Divided Nation,” which recently made The Wall Street Journal Best Sellers List.
