My experience includes working as a consultant and organizer for political leaders such as United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge, Shontel Brown, United States Representative of the 11th Congressional District, former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish and numerous local, county and state candidates and levies.
I have also worked as Ohio’s political strategist for several national campaigns, Bill Clinton for President, John Kerry for President, Hillary Clinton for President, Barack Obama for President, and Joe Biden for President.
In each of these campaigns, I led many teams that effectively targeted and persuaded diverse constituency groups to take affirmative political action consistent with their strategic interest. In this work, I have developed deep working relationships with the African American Community
Clergy, Arab American Community, and the Hispanic Community. Additionally, I have handled all aspects of a campaign, from grassroots activities (Get Out the Vote) to high-level strategic targeting and mass media engagement.
