Nathan Gonzales is Editor & Publisher of Inside Elections, which provides nonpartisan analysis of campaigns for Senate, House, governor, and president. He's also co-host of the Inside Elections Podcast and an Elections Analyst for CQ Roll Call. He tackles elections in a nonpartisan, data-driven, and accessible way and offers audiences some of the most detailed electoral forecasting in the business.

Exclusively represented by Leading Authorities speakers bureau, Gonzales is full of enthusiasm and thought-provoking insights about politics. His recall of facts and figures is incredible, and he is natural, energetic, and engaging on stage. With a combination of reporting and data, Gonzales breaks down the key races and brings valuable context to complex elections. Drawing from personal candidate interviews and more than 20 years covering campaigns, Gonzales combines entertaining anecdotes with historical trends and current polling data to project which candidates are best-positioned to win and which party is most likely to gain control. Gonzales’ winsome approach to politics is refreshing at a time when the country is divided, and he can reliably navigate audiences with differing partisan views.

Client Testimonials

He was great! Appreciated his comfort level with our members and willingness to field any question. We would absolutely have him back in future years, perhaps for a PAC contributors’ event.

ASCO

As an officer of this International for many years, I have rarely heard a more cogent, succinct narrative of political trends – especially given the nuanced character of the current landscape – than the one you so capably provided to our delegates and guests. We only wish the news had been more optimistic.

International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers

Over 23 years I’ve called on hundreds of speakers; none more pointed and insightful than Nathan Gonzales. Providing a non-partisan look into political parties and electoral politics, Nathan has the facts, figures and the war stories. He has spoken to our groups 30 times in 3 years and he will be at the top of my call list as long as he wants to be.

Nathan was great! He related his own experience with his daughter’s celiac to connect with our doctors before starting, had no technical issues, gave a great presentation, and answered some tough questions. I’ve worked with him on events before and I would absolutely recommend working with him again!
