Abraham White is a seasoned campaign strategist and communications expert with over a decade of experience advising Congressional leaders, corporations, high-profile political campaigns, top advocacy groups, national labor unions, and mission-driven non-profits across the country. At SKDK, Abraham provides strategic counsel to clients who are national and global leaders on issues like investing in green energy, strengthening education access, building sustainable transportation solutions, tackling childhood poverty, and expanding economic opportunity for communities across the country.
Prior to SKDK, Abraham built and executed media strategies which successfully elevated the national profiles and advanced the state and federal policy agendas of a wide range of public and private sector leaders. This included executive media training and booking principals for high-profile interviews with Good Morning America, MSNBC Morning Joe, Fox News, CNBC, and NPR; leading crisis communications and rapid response for a national advocacy organization for over 1 million workers on the frontlines of COVID-19; leveraging national media relationships to turn a local grassroots campaign at a Fortune 500 company into a major story in the Associated Press, CBS News, Reuters, and regional publications across the country; managing logistics for a national investor and stakeholder event on the future of a global energy and manufacturing leader; running political campaign war rooms and preparing candidates for high-stakes debates and public appearances; and crafting opinion pieces from national figures like Vice President Kamala Harris and Congressional leaders which ran in outlets like CNN, USA Today, and Newsweek.
Across senior communications roles with leaders like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and national advocacy groups and think tanks like EMILY’s List and the Center for American Progress – and frequently working in partnership with the White House across multiple administrations – Abraham has consistently secured high-impact media coverage in outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fast Company, and many others to reach influential decision-makers, shape public opinion, and deliver results on some of the most urgent issues facing our country.
Abraham holds a degree in economics from the University of California, San Diego.
