Mr. McAuliffe's Biography:
Terry McAuliffe served as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee from February 2001-February 2005. He is widely credited with rebuilding, reenergizing, and revitalizing the Party, using new state of the art technology to connect grassroots activists with the Party's new information infrastructure. He is an engaging and enlightening presenter who speaks with candor, humor, and great insight, and is especially dynamic in a debate.
Mr. McAuliffe's New York Times and Washington Post best-selling book, titled What a Party!: My Life Among Democrats: Presidents, Candidates, Donors, Activists, Alligators and Other Wild Animals was released in January 2007. He is also serving as the Chairman of the Hillary Clinton for President Exploratory Committee.
Under Chairman McAuliffe's leadership, for the first time in Democratic Party history, the DNC was debt free. The DNC raised approximately $404 million for the 2004 election cycle, besting the RNC for the first time in modern history. This success enabled the party to fund an unprecedented political campaign recruiting over 25,000 trained field precinct captains, conducting 530 organizing conventions across the country, mobilizing 233,000 volunteers, knocking on 11 million doors, and making 38 million volunteer phone calls, and 56 million paid calls.
Additionally, from 2001-2005, the DNC contributed more to state parties, House, Senate, Governors', Mayors', and local races than in any other time in history.
When speaking around the country, Terry McAuliffe calls on his knowledge of the current political environment, the issues of the day, and his wit and humor. His presentations are always insightful, entertaining, and always candid.
