ABOUT DEAN MITCHELL
Dean Mitchell has more than twenty years experience in the political and non-profit arena. His research is combined with sound theory by way of his Master in Public

Institute of Public Affairs.
Dean has polled on political and policy issues around the country. Most notably, he accurately predicted the outcome of the 2012 U.S. Senate race in North Dakota. While others predicted an easy Republican victory, Dean predicted within one percentage point, the final outcome of the key Senate race, which is regarded as the biggest upset of the 2012 election.
