Tom McMahon is an American political operative.
McMahon served as executive director of the Democratic National Committee from 2005 until 2009. During his tenure, McMahon was involved in several high-profile decisions and controversies including: conflicts over 2008 Democratic presidential primary debate scheduling[1] and over prominent Democratic complaints about the content of ABC's Path to 9/11 television program.[2]
McMahon was a key player in, and defender of, the DNC's creation of its initially controversial "50 state strategy".[3] The plan was eventually credited with helping to secure Democratic elections victories in 2006 at both the state and local level.[4]
In 2016 he returned to working with the DNC as a consultant to the presidential transition team and in 2018 he worked with Milwaukee on their bid to host the 2020 Democratic National Convention.[5][6][7]
