About PFP
PFP conducts polling to determine the Commonwealth’s political reality, advocates for evidence-based policies to bring needed reforms, and supports the candidates and initiatives to create lasting change.
We can take on the challenges facing our state to develop stronger communities and a better economy — not because change is easy, but because building a vibrant future for our Commonwealth depends on it. Join us to fight for what works.
