Logan Phillips

Logan founded RacetotheWH when he was a graduate student at Columbia. He started building the foundation for the website during his Presidential Campaign Management class taught by Professor Karrine Jeanne Pierre, who would later become President Biden’s Press Secretary. Before Graduate School, Logan gained experience in American politics both in D.C. and around the country. He worked in President Obama's White House as an intern for the Department of Scheduling and Advance. He’s worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Presidential campaign and Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy’s Re-Election. He also worked on the political team for the American Institute of Architecture. Finally, his undergraduate degree was at Gettysburg College, where he studied political science, with a focus on presidential decision-making. He launched RacetotheWH in June 2020. It proved to be highly accurate in its first election cycle, although it initially received limited attention. Viewership exploded in 2022, when it was used by over 2 million Americans across the country, and viewed over 7 million times. Logan takes a scientific approach to building election models. He rigorously tests his models on decades of past election cycles to ensure accuracy. Whenever he develops a new theory to enhance his models, he subjects it to thorough testing. This ensures any changes genuinely improve the model's predictions. It’s time-consuming and has taken thousands of hours, but it leads to the best model possible.
