GOP Strategist, Cruz Alum David Polyansky Launches Just Win Consulting

Republican strategist and former Senator Ted Cruz Chief of Staff, David Polyansky, is launching Just Win Consulting (d/b/a “JW Consulting”) – a newly formed, blended political and public affairs firm.

At Just Win Consulting, Polyansky will serve as strategist to a limited number of statewide candidates for public office each election cycle while prioritizing his work with some of the nation’s most influential corporate brands and associations by providing them with topflight public affairs, strategic and crisis communications, and governmental relations services in Washington and a handful of state capitals.

Polyansky stated, “This is an incredibly exciting new chapter for me and my family. I am wholly re-energized and singularly focused on continuing to provide first-in-class services for the same incredible clients I have fiercely advocated for over the last few years, as well as building partnerships with many new ones – now, under the Just Win Consulting banner.”

After the conclusion of his tenure as Senator Cruz’s Chief of Staff, Polyansky spent the last six-plus years at Axiom Strategies/AxAdvocacy, most recently as Chief Strategy Officer. He will continue to work with the firm on a number of ongoing projects.

“I am grateful to have been a part of their team and incredibly proud of the work that I performed for my clients and the robust practice that I built over the last several years. Along the way I was blessed to develop very meaningful relationships with some of the most talented and battle-tested professionals in our business,” said Polyansky.
