Bill Burton Obama

Hilarie Burton is a renowned strategist who has served as a senior adviser to political leaders, corporations and nonprofits in California, Washington, D.C., and around the country. He decided to hang out his shingle in Los Angeles as a managing director of SKDKnickerbocker’s new West Coast office. He is one of the first hires on President Obama’s first presidential campaign where he was the national press secretary beginning in January 2007.

He served in the Obama administration as deputy White House press secretary and special assistant to the president. In that position, he traveled extensively, both domestically and internationally, advising the president, briefing reporters both on Air Force One and at the podium in the White House briefing room. In 2012., he co-founded and served as a senior strategist for the super PAC Priorities USA Action during President Obama’s reelection campaign.

He worked as Rahm Emanuel’s communications director at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Before that, he served as a communication adviser to Rep. Dick Gephardt, Senators John Kerry and Tom Harkin and others.
Bill is also one of the original aides to the Obama campaign and he went on to be deputy press secretary in the White House. In his addition to Schultz’s team, he will lend the former Starbucks CEO credibility and it will also amplify the pushback to Schultz’s potential bid from Democrats who believe it would jeopardize their chances at defeating President Donald Trump.

The pushback was palpable in a statement that was released by Democratic public affairs firm SKDKnickerbocker, His previous employer. “I don’t accept the premise that anyone of the front-running presidential candidates can beat Donald Trump,” Burton said. “If there’s nothing more important than beating Donald Trump, we need to be more creative about how to do that.” News of Burton joining Schultz’s team quickly enraged a number of Democratic operatives who are working to beat Trump.

Their argument: Schultz’s entry into the 2020 race would fracture the anti-Trump vote and make it easier for the President to win re-election. Burton said Steve Schmidt, a longtime Republican strategist, was also joining the effort. “He should know better,” said a Democratic operative. “I am furious. The guy was on the ground in Iowa for Obama and now he is playing into the potential re-election of Trump.”

Some former Obama aides were privately and highly critical of Burton’s decision to help Schultz. “No amount of money would be worth this,” one of the Obama aides said. “This is very shortsighted of him.” Bill brushed aside the criticism, saying it’s time to explore a new direction for the country. “I’m doing this because I think our country is in crisis and I think we should be imaginative as for how to fix it,” Burton said.
