Announcing Tony Fabrizio as ABC 2026 Keynote Speaker

The American Boating Congress is pleased to announce Tony Fabrizio as the keynote speaker for ABC 2026.

Tony Fabrizio, a partner in Fabrizio, Lee & Associates, is widely recognized as an expert in public opinion and politics and one of the nation's leading GOP pollsters and strategists. Fabrizio has served as the Chief Pollster on five Presidential campaigns, most notably, and recently, President Donald Trump's comeback 2024 victory and 2016 upset victory. For his work on President Trump's Campaigns, Fabrizio's peers at the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) awarded him with the "Pollster of the Year" award in 2017 and 2025, as well as Innovation of the Year in 2025.

Fabrizio will deliver remarks at the opening night dinner on Monday, May 4, offering insights into the current political environment and what it means for federal policy and advocacy. His perspective comes at a critical time as the recreational boating industry works to advance priorities such as the reauthorization of the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, infrastructure investment through WRDA, and policies that support American manufacturing and global competitiveness.

His remarks will help frame the broader policy discussions taking place throughout ABC, including sessions on trade, regulatory modernization, and conservation policy. As policymakers consider decisions that directly impact Americans' ability to get out on the water, ABC provides a vital opportunity to ensure the recreational boating industry's voice is heard.
