When the stakes are high and the fight turns ugly, clients call Matt Klink. For more than three decades, he has guided corporations, trade associations, and campaigns through complex, controversial battles, from ballot measures and independent expenditures to full-blown corporate crises. Over the past decade, Klink has taken on some of California's most expensive and high-profile political fights, winning more than 80% of them.
Klink wins when the odds are against him and his clients. He played a leading role in opposing a major Los Angeles property tax measure and held it to 46% of the vote, well short of the two-thirds required to pass. His side won despite being outspent 6-to-1 and facing strong support for the measure from local officials.
Reporters rely on Matt. He has served as a spokesperson and primary media contact for numerous corporate and trade association clients and statewide initiative campaigns. He regularly appears on international, national, and local television to represent his clients and provide political analysis. National news outlets frequently quote him on politics.
Klink holds an M.A. in Political Management from the George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management and a B.A. in History from the University of California, Berkeley. He is a past president of the International Association of Political Consultants, where he has served on the board since 2015. He also serves on the Graduate School of Political Management's Board of Advisors. He speaks worldwide on preserving democracy and on the role of strategic communications and political campaigns.
Klink’s first book, Creating Consent: Inside the New Persuasion Economy, will be published in early 2027.
