Update:
After publication, Dave White’s campaign manager, Bob Salera, reached out to explain that Long, Nyquist and Associates dropped the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) as a client, at White’s request. That was effective as of January 1, 2022. It is also no longer listed on the Long, Nyquist and Associates client page. Salera also reiterated White’s commitment to school choice. White entered the race in November.
Original Post:
Critical Race Theory (CRT) proved to be a major issue in the Virginia statewide races last year. This may turn out to be a pattern for the rest of the country, including Pennsylvania. Dave White, a former Delaware County Councilman, appears to hope to be following that lead in his run for governor in this key battleground state.
As it turns out, though, he’s also hired Long Nyquist and Associates, which has been on the side of teachers unions, particularly the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA). In a piece from January 24, 2022, City & State Pennsylvania included Mike Long and Todd Nyquist in their list of “The 2022 Top 50 Political Consultants in Pennsylvania.” White’s gubernatorial campaign is listed under “Key Clients.” Under “Biggest Accomplishment,” it reads in part that “Dave White retained us to run his gubernatorial race.”
