Hi, I'm Robert Dempsey

I’m an experienced organizational strategist for Democratic candidates and progressive causes nationwide.

I’m currently based in California where I’ve helped elect Democratic candidates from Congress to city council and worked to pass municipal funding measures at the ballot box.

Before that, I served as the National States Director for Bernie 2020, leading a national team of operatives and strategists on the first unionized presidential campaign in American history.

I’ve also been the Executive Director of three State Democratic Parties, helped take back and expand Democratic majorities in the US House of Representatives, worked for state legislative campaign committees in Pennsylvania and Ohio, fought to ensure the rights of LGBTQ citizens in Michigan, and served a cycle at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

When I’m not helping candidates build winning teams, raising money, or getting their message to voters, I’m probably cycling through the hills of San Francisco, cooking an overly complicated meal for my family, or cheering on the Buffalo Bills.
