What happens when a pollster becomes a legislator? How does a career exploring and measuring public opinion help serve Canadians as a Senator?

Senator Dr. Donna Dasko was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Trudeau on June 6, 2018.

She is my guest on this episode of inFocus with David Coletto.

Prior to her appointment, she was Senior Vice-President at Environics Research Group where she lead major research studies for federal and provincial governments, private sector clients, and NGOs. 

Senator Dasko is also a co-founded and National Chair of Equal Voice, a non-partisan organization aimed at electing more women in Canada.

Senator Dasko joined me on the podcast to discuss her career as a pollster and how her experience has impacted her work as a Senator at the centre of national public policy making.
