Special Counsel to President Clinton from 1996 to 1998.
As Special Counsel to the President, Mr. Davis served as a spokesperson for the White House on matters concerning the campaign finance investigations and related matters. Drawing upon this experience, Mr. Davis provides counseling to corporations and government contractors on crisis management issues by developing press strategies for entities exposed to high-profile litigation, particularly in high-tech/securities fraud cases.
Mr. Davis has participated in national, state and local politics for almost 30 years. He has served three terms (1980-1992) on the Democratic National Committee representing the State of Maryland, and during that period he served on the DNC Executive Committee and as Chairman of the Eastern Region Caucus. In Montgomery County, Maryland, he served as Chairman of the Washington Suburban Transit Commission.
Mr. Davis has written extensively on politics for many years in a variety of publications. He is the author of Truth to Tell: Notes From My White House Education (The Free Press: New York, 1999). Tom Brokaw of NBC News said, "Lanny Davis has written a book that should be required reading for all Washington officials and journalists alike. It's an instructive and cautionary tale of the constant struggle to know the truth of what is going on at the highest levels of government." He is also the author of The Emerging Democratic Majority: Lessons and Legacies from the New Politics (Stein and Day, 1973), a political history of the liberal movements of the 1960's and early 1970's. Mr. Davis is the co-author of Allen and Davis on Computer Contracting: A User's Guide with Forms and Strategies (Prentice Hall, 1992), and has lectured throughout the United States and Europe on the subject.
Between 1990 and 1996, Mr. Davis was a bi-monthly commentator for Maryland Politics for WAMU-88.5/FM, a Washington, D.C. local affiliate of National Public Radio. He has been a regular television commentator and has been a political and legal analyst for MSNBC.
Mr. Davis came to Washington, D.C. in 1970 after graduating from Yale Law School where he won the prestigious Thurmon Arnold Moot Court prize and served on the Yale Law Journal. A graduate of Yale College, Mr. Davis served as Chairman of the Yale Daily News.
