Donna Brazile Veteran Democratic Political Strategist, Syndicated Columnist and Fox News Contributor

As a campaign staffer, presidential campaign manager and Democratic Party official, Donna Brazile is an expert in political strategy. She taps into her Washington circles to provide insights often overlooked by outsiders and offers a well-rounded view of the upcoming 2020 election. Author of the best-selling memoir "Cooking with Grease: Stirring the Pots in American Politics," her witty style and innovative political strategies have earned her the respect of colleagues as well as adversaries.

Inspired by participation in a successful political campaign at age 9, Donna Brazile holds a lifelong, fiery passion for political progress. She was honored to become the first African American to manage a presidential bid, leading Al Gore’s campaign in 2000. Her analysis of today’s issues and unique take on the policy issues in Congress led her to be named one of the 100 Most Powerful Women by Washingtonian, Top 50 Women in America by Essence, and an O Power List remarkable visionary by The Oprah Magazine.

Brazile has held offices such as the Vice Chair of Voter Registration and Participation at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and was the former chair of the DNC's Voting Rights Institute. She is currently on the board of the National Democratic Institute, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. She is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University, a syndicated newspaper and magazine columnist and an on-air contributor at Fox News. She is also the founder of Brazile & Associates LLC, a general consulting, grassroots advocacy and training firm based in Washington D.C.

A native of New Orleans, Brazile continues to work toward the full recovery of the city, and she encourages young people of all backgrounds to vote and to strengthen the system from within by running for public office. Since 2000, she has appeared at more than a hundred higher education institutions across the country, speaking to young people about diversity and issues in our current political system. There is no one more dedicated to improving the future, and Brazile is willing to put in the work to ensure a better future for us all.
