David
Metz, a Partner in Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FM3),
has provided qualitative and quantitative research and strategic advice to
dozens of non-profit organizations, government agencies, businesses, and
candidate and ballot measure campaigns in over 40 states since joining the
firm in 1998.
With
a focus on environmental and conservation issues, Metz has provided
research and consulting to help win voter approval for the largest
conservation finance measures in national history, including five
successful statewide bond measures providing $15 billion to protect land
and water in California, as well as major state and local measures in
Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arizona, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon and
Hawaii. His research on the issue of “regulatory takings” helped the
environmental community reverse a string of ballot measure losses and win
five consecutive campaigns in California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska.
Aside
from ballot measure campaigns, Metz has provided opinion research
on key message and policy issues to numerous conservation organizations, among
them The Nature Conservancy, the Trust for Public Land, the League of
Conservation Voters, the Environmental Defense Fund, the Association of
Fish and Wildlife Agencies, the Wilderness Society, the Chesapeake Bay
Foundation, the Sierra Club, and the National Audubon Society.
Metz’s
other successful work on ballot measure campaigns has included tobacco
prevention (California, Colorado, Florida, and Arizona), Indian gaming
(Arizona), clean energy (Washington), early childhood education (Arizona),
transportation funding (California and Washington), and political reform
(California and Illinois).
While
at FM3, Metz has also specialized in
providing community satisfaction, policy development and ballot measure
feasibility surveys for major cities, including Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose. Metz has also provided research and strategic consulting to numerous
successful candidates for public office, including members of the U.S.
Senate, Congress, state legislators, county officials and mayors.
David
Metz received his Bachelor's degree in Government from Harvard University and his Master's in Public
Policy from the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California-Berkeley. Metz
