"In this capacity, he managed the Vice President’s staff and implemented message and strategy throughout the 2000 campaign cycle. Michael also served as one of the Clinton administration’s chief liaisons to the United States Congress, providing advice and strategic counsel to forward the President’s legislative agenda." He later founded a public affairs firm.
