Joe Cunningham: Biggest Political Upset in a Generation

Political Consulting

 

SPEAK CEO Tyler Jones served as General Consultant and Chief Strategist to SC Democratic Congressman Joe Cunningham’s stunning victory in 2018, which The Hill dubbed “one of the biggest upsets of the decade.” Jones was the first person on the Cunningham team in early 2017 and helped assemble the team that flipped South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District blue for the first time in 40 years. Despite FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver giving Cunningham a 9% chance of winning on election day, Cunningham won with 50.7% of the vote.

After the upset win in November, SPEAK CEO Tyler Jones led the transition for Congressman-Elect Cunningham and has continued in his role as General Consultant for the 2020 re-election campaign.
