About Ray Zaccaro

Ray spent decades as a top political strategist, advising campaigns, candidates and causes and people in power, translating their actions and words back to The People. He has been an invaluable adviser to national public figures, Fortune 50 companies, nonprofit organizations, political candidates in races up and down ballots and was a key strategist to the American labor movement in its most critical moment in a century.

 

In Congress, Ray served as the chief messaging strategist for House Democrats, guiding members of Congress on what to say and how to say it. In the U.S. Senate, Ray led efforts to secure democracy and he ignited a national firestorm when he exposed the family separation policy at the U.S./Mexico border. 

 

Three impeachment trials, five presidents, dozens of political campaigns, one attempted coup and countless crises, there is almost no part of American politics Ray has not been a part of. 

 

After living and seeing it all, Ray is going beyond the Beltway to ask Americans what they think about the state of our democracy and what they are willing – or unwilling – to sacrifice to keep it.
