Joshua Estevan Ulibarri is a partner at LRP. His issue work covers the progressive spectrum and an impressive range of issues, including racial and LGBTQ+ equality, public education, poverty, health and science, responsible gun ownership, young voters, humane treatment of animals, and jury research. He takes a keen interest in voters and candidates of color and folks who come from marginalized communities. Known as a leading researcher among his generation of consultants, he is among the best methodologists and moderators in the field and a sought-after Latino voice in progressive politics. He was named AAPC’s 2018 Pollster of the Year, making him the first Latino recipient. 

In 2022, Joshua worked to pass historic ballot measures across the country, successfully securing billions of new dollars for public education in Massachusetts, New Mexico, and West Virginia and restoring equal access to in-state tuition for DREAMers in Arizona. Twice now, he was the chief pollster for wealth-tax campaigns, passing historic measures in Massachusetts (2022) and Arizona (2020) – stringing together back-to-back wins after years when other measures fell short. Further, his IE work in 2022 contributed to electing two Latinos as Secretaries of State in Arizona and Nevada (with the ACLU) and electing the first Latina from Colorado to go to Congress (with the DCCC). 

Joshua also helped elect some of the youngest and most progressive new members of Congress in 2022, including Greg Casar of Texas’ 35th Congressional District, Maxwell Alejandro Frost of Florida’s 10th District, and Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania’s 17th District. 

His other past and current political clients include U.S. Senator Jon Tester, Congressmen Gerry Connolly and Ruben Gallego, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and Congresista Sylvia Garcia (the first Latina Congresswoman from Texas), Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, Houston Mayor Annise Parker, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, and Harris County Commissioners Adrian Garcia and Lesley Briones. 

Having grown up in Kearns, Utah, Joshua now lives in Phoenix, Arizona. He graduated from the University of Utah and George Washington University’s Graduate School of Political Management.
