David Sirota

David Sirota was described in a 2003 Newsweek profile as a "young, fierce" voice who "fills the gap left by a timid Democratic establishment." The American Prospect in 2006 called him "the kind of pundit you'd like to have on your side in a knife fight and wouldn't want to cross in a dark alley." He has served as the press secretary for Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and as the spokesman for the U.S. House Appropriations Committee Democrats. He most recently served as a senior strategist helping Brian Schweitzer become Montana's first Democratic governor in sixteen years. Sirota is currently is a senior editor at In These Times magazine, and his work appears regularly in the San Francisco Chronicle and The Nation magazine. He is also a twice-weekly guest on Al Franken's nationally syndicated radio show and has been a guest on CNN, MSNBC, CNBC and NPR.
