Bradley Wascher

Contributing Data Editor

Bradley Wascher contributes as data editor of Inside Elections, which provides nonpartisan analysis of campaigns for Senate, House, governor, and president.

As head of all data projects — including the flagship Baseline and Vote Above Replacement scores — Bradley manages a comprehensive database containing millions of election results at the state, district, county, and precinct levels. He also produces original reporting with graphics, maps, and charts.

In 2026, Bradley joined the Associated Press as a race caller for primary and general elections. He has also written as a contributing author for the Almanac of American Politics, appeared on election night broadcasts with DecisionDeskHQ, and previously worked as a pollster during the 2024 cycle and as a redistricting consultant in 2021. He joined Inside Elections in 2020 from his college blog, First Past the Poll.

Bradley graduated from Western Kentucky University and received his master's degree from Georgetown. Outside of elections, he independently coaches competitive high school extemporaneous speakers. In turn, he believes the best analysis strikes a balance between academic and accessible.
