Matt Towery is an American nationally syndicated columnist, author, political analyst, pollster and attorney.
Matt Towery was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He graduated from the University of Cambridge and the Stetson University College of Law.
Towery served in the Georgia House of Representatives and was the Republican nominee for Lt. Governor of Georgia in 1990 at age 30. He served as a strategist in numerous national and statewide political campaigns including as Chairman of then-Speaker Newt Gingrich’s political organization in the 1990s.
In 1998 the Georgia General Assembly named the heavily traveled Paces Ferry Road bridge over I-285 (Atlanta beltway) in Cobb County, Georgia as the Matthew A. Towery Bridge. The measure was unusual because it honored a Republican (Towery) but was co-sponsored in bi-partisan fashion by both Democrats (powerful House Speaker Tom Murphy, Majority Leader Larry Walker, Chairman Jimmy Benefield) and Republicans (Minority Leader Robert Irvin, rep's Mark Burkhalter and Randy Sauder who sponsored the bill). Democrat Governor Zell Miller signed the measure into law on April 6, 1998.
Towery has served as the CEO of numerous companies, including, when sold, the largest sheet fed commercial printing company in the Southeast.
Towery has authored numerous books including Powerchicks: How Women Will Dominate America. He has appeared on many major news networks and on programs to include The O’Reilly Factor and Hardball with Chris Matthews and with hosts including Sean Hannity to Bill Maher. In 2011 he served as a weekly guest commentator for CNN. Since 1998, he has been a political analyst for the NBC, ABC, and currently the Fox affiliate in Atlanta. As CEO of InsiderAdvantage, he has served as a pollster to many national news organizations including Politico and Newsmax Media.
InsiderAdvantage also publishes numerous politically oriented magazines including, in Georgia, James magazine and the Washington D.C.-based Southern Political Report, one of the nation’s oldest continuously published political publications. His nationally syndicated column is based out of the Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville, Florida and is syndicated by Creators Syndicate out of Los Angeles.
