David Kralik

One of the Top Ten Changing the World of Internet and Politics


David W. Kralik is manager of the Silicon Valley office & director of Internet strategy at American Solutions, founded by former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.

In that role, he is responsible for the online product roadmap and chief scout for Gingrich, exploring and reporting back about new technology and finding ways technology can migrate government and politics into the 21st century.

In 2008, Kralik was honored as one of the “Top Ten Changing the World of Internet and Politics,” for his work on the “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less” campaign which garnered 1.5 million online signatures to a petition. His work on the campaign also led platinum-award winning country music star Aaron Tippin to record a song, “Drill Here, Drill Now.”

Kralik has been described by the Washington Post as, “A cross between political junkie and tech geek.” He has been involved in online political advocacy since 1997 when he set up one of the first College Republican web sites in the country and led the national effort to build out the collegiate online effort. He is often sought after as an authority in online advocacy, blogging, and traffic building and has offered strategic counsel to organizations and corporations of all sizes.

Most recently, he was manager of Internet programs at the National Association of Manufacturers where he led the association to adopt blogging, podcasting, the widely popular CoolStuffBeingMade.com web site and a variety of other Web 2.0 initiatives before it was called “Web 2.0” that resulted in the association being widely recognized as a leader in e-communication.

Earlier in his career he was Deputy Communications Director for Americans for Tax Reform. His work as Executive Director of the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project led to it being mentioned on an episode of The Simpsons.

David’s work in Silicon Valley has been profiled by The Washington Post and Investor’s Business Daily, among other publications.

In his spare time, he travels around the world (having been to all 7 continents), plays the saxophone, volunteers with Junior Achievement and resides in San Francisco.

"[David] did great and was exactly what I wanted. He is definitely a tech guy but that is what I was looking for. David is a great guy and I would be happy to recommend him to others who are looking for fundraising ideas or tech type of communication ideas." — Chuck Trogdon, California Association of Health Underwriters PAC
