About Our Speaker’s
Doug Sosnik is a highly regarded Democratic strategist, “famed in Washington circles for his closely held, big-think memos on the state of American politics.” As one of President Bill Clinton’s closest advisors, Sosnik played a pivotal role in Clinton’s against-the-odds landslide reelection in 1996, serving in key positions including Senior Aide and White House Political Director.
With decades of experience at the nexus of politics, policy, and communication, Sosnik has guided senators, governors, Fortune 100 companies, leading foundations, and universities through complex challenges. Before his impactful tenure in the White House, he served as Chief of Staff to Senator Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut, cementing his reputation as a go-to strategist and trusted insider in the highest echelons of power.
Alex Castellanos is a powerhouse in Republican strategy and media consulting, credited with the discovery of the political “soccer mom,” which “caught on almost overnight” as the iconic prototypical swing voter, and hailed as the “father of the attack ad.” He is famed for shaping seven U.S. presidential campaigns, including Bush-Cheney 2004, Romney for President, and McCain’s Ad Council, and has been a decisive force behind the election of nine U.S. Senators and six Governors.
Born in Havana, Cuba, Castellanos’ journey is as compelling as his career. His family fled Castro’s regime with one suitcase and eleven dollars, forging a new life in America. A fluent Spanish and English speaker and a University of North Carolina scholar, he is a sought-after political speaker and frequent CNN commentator.
