About
As a 20-year political veteran, Andrew Grossman offers a unique combination of senior management skills, cutting-edge communications tactics and fundamental campaign know-how.
In January 2005, Grossman founded Wal-Mart Watch, a new model of non-profit advocacy, to challenge the business practices of the world’s largest corporation. Wal-Mart Watch has been recognized as “the most organized, sophisticated campaign ever initiated against a corporation.” As Executive Director from 2005-2006, Grossman’s management of the organization was so effective that a Wall Street Journal editorial credited it as an “operation that has made life miserable for the company across the country.”
In 2004, Grossman served as the Director of Polling and Targeting for America Coming Together (ACT) during the general election campaign. In this capacity, Grossman became one of the Democratic Party’s leading experts on the use and power of data and polling in determining voter behavior and its applications for all aspects of campaign planning, including paid media, voter contact and persuasion, and Get Out the Vote (GOTV).
From 1999-2003, Grossman worked for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, holding a variety of senior management positions, ultimately serving as Executive Director. Through his management of this $100 million organization, Grossman honed a sophisticated understanding of campaign finance and election law, media strategy and buying, the mechanics and potential of coordinated campaigns, the operation of the national political committees and the Washington connection for campaigns and candidates. 
In his earlier career, Grossman worked for a wide array of local, state and national campaigns in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire and California. He has managed a number of campaigns, including a New Jersey Congressional candidate, a New York State Senate candidate and a Mayoral race in Hartford, CT. Grossman has also held senior campaign management positions in the New York and New Jersey Democratic Parties. He has been a leader in the development of the coordinated campaign, both in New York and New Jersey, and in his work in Washington.
As a veteran of political and corporate campaigns, Grossman has been a featured speaker on panels for C-Span, the Hotline, Natural Expo West, American Enterprise Institute and many others. He has been a guest lecturer at American University, Georgetown University, George Washington University, the University of Virginia and Columbia University. Grossman has appeared frequently on CNBC, Fox News, CNN and dozens of radio call-in programs. He has been a regular speaker at the board and political meetings of America Votes and has addressed numerous meetings of the AFL-CIO political directors, SEIU, AFSCME, the Teamsters, the Carpenters and others.
A graduate of Colby College, Grossman earned his BA in government and was awarded the Laurie J. Peterson prize for his excellence in scholarship. Roll Call named Grossman one of Capitol Hill’s 50 most influential staffers in 2003 and 2004. Grossman has been profiled in Campaigns and Elections and the Atlanta Journal Constitution. He serves on the National Advisory Board of the Council for a Livable World and on the Washington Advisory Board of the Goldfarb Center for Public Policy at Colby College. He and his wife are the proud parents of four young and active children.
