Claudia L. Rodriguez

Senior Project Manager

Claudia is Senior Project Manager at BSP Research. She has extensive experience in conducting Latino political research and has worked through numerous election cycles providing analysis on young Latino voting patterns.

Immigration attitudes and messaging are a particular focus of Claudia’s work, especially in key battleground states and congressional districts such as Arizona, Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania. She recently worked with the Justice Action Center, overseeing a multi-phase project surveying asylees and refugees, followed by focus groups and a national poll aimed at understanding Latino voter attitudes toward asylum and developing critical messaging strategies.

Claudia has facilitated several political polls for large-scale national and local elections, most recently the 2024 Mexican presidential election and the 2024 U.S. presidential primary and general elections. In April of 2024, she helped coordinate the Mexicans Abroad International Survey of Elections (MAISE), which focused on the issue priorities and vote preferences of Mexican nationals residing in the U.S. who were eligible to vote in the 2024 Mexican presidential election. Claudia’s most recent work includes leading a series of pre-election polls for UnidosUS and Hispanic Federation, aimed at understanding Latino voter policy preferences and most salient issues heading into the 2024 election.

Claudia also oversees the linguistic work at BSP and works with the translation team to produce accurate and culturally relevant survey materials and communications in Spanish. Claudia has appeared on a number of live television, radio, and online interviews for major Spanish media outlets such as Univision and Telemundo. Claudia has been a frequent guest as political analyst providing commentary for Univision News, Al Punto con Jorge Ramos, and others. Recent media highlights include interviews about the Latino electorate in early state primaries with Radio Bilingüe, as well as providing expert analysis on the Mexican presidential election with Univision and Telemundo.

Claudia has experience in community organizing and has held leading positions in immigrants’ rights advocacy and support networks. She is a graduate of the University of California-Los Angeles, where she obtained a B.A. in Psychology and Political Science.
