Alex Conant

Alex Conant has worked behind-the-scenes on two of the last decade’s major presidential campaigns. With unrivaled access to DC’s biggest names and a deep understanding of what makes Washington turn, he overviews the current political environment, offers first-hand stories of working backstage at debates (at a time when Sen. Rubio was up against a field of 17 candidates) and pushing back against media spin, and shares lessons learned through the high-stakes process of running a presidential hopeful’s communications strategy. Conant is not afraid to peel back the curtain and tell it like it is, shedding light on a particularly wild election cycle and American politics as a whole.
