Evan Franco is a veteran research professional with more than twenty years of experience in high-stakes political, regulatory, and public-interest intelligence. He is widely regarded for his methodological rigor, strategic insight, and ability to translate complex research into actionable decision-making tools for clients operating in dynamic and often opaque environments.

Franco founded Proximity Intelligence on a simple premise: every candidate — from city council to Congress — deserves access to professional-grade intelligence. His proprietary process combines cutting-edge technology with deep investigative expertise, allowing the firm to produce research at volumes most firms cannot support while maintaining the precision and reliability clients depend on.

His work has informed research cited by The Washington Post, The New York Times, Politico, and dozens of regional publications across the country.
