About
Soren Dayton works at New Media Strategies, an innovative Social Media and PR firm in Washington, DC. Soren’s client work involves primarily political and corporate campaigns in which new media and new forms of organizing are central to either the campaign or its opponents. Soren joined NMS from John McCain‘s presidential campaign, where he worked on the delegate team, in addition to pinch-hitting on a number of communication functions.
Soren is active in a number of young professional political organizations. He serves as the Communications Director of the Young Republican National Federation and a Board Member of the International Young Democrat Union. He writes regularly at Redstate.com and other sites. His writings have appeared in Roll Call, Politico, and other outlets. And he has appeared on CNN, BBC, RT, Al Jazeera, and among others.
Prior to the McCain campaign, Soren worked as a political and strategy consultant for a variety of domestic and international clients. He has also worked on Capitol Hill where he worked on legislation such as the Millenium Challenge Account and the President’s Emergency Plan to Fight AIDS, campaigns, and for a software company that he helped start. Soren graduated with a BA in Anthropology and Math from the University of Chicago.
Soren is also an active lay leader in his church, Calvary Baptist in Washington, DC. Currently he serves as the Church Moderator, the leading lay position in the church, and has previously served as the Chairman of the Missions Board.
A number of issues drive Soren’s interest in politics. At the top of the list are spreading economic and political freedom, starting with fighting corruption — a big deal having grown up in Chicago! — and encouraging commerce, trade, the positive impacts of globalization, etc. Soren believes deeply in the power of capitalism to help people raise their standard of living and fulfill their dreams.
Soren lives in Northern Virginia with his wife Amanda Butler and their cat August.
