About Lori
Lori Silverman, LLC is a woman/LGBTQ owned political consulting firm with about two decades of experience assisting Democratic candidates and party committees with one purpose: to increase their fundraising numbers and therefore reach goal. A Chicago native, Lori has raised millions dollars for Democratic clients. Lori has experience in raising national money for candidates, with a concentration on the Mid Atlantic and New York regions.
Lori began her fundraising career as Congressman Richard A. Gephardt’s Mid Atlantic Finance Director, focusing on both PAC and individual money inside the beltway. She then went on to raise individual money in the same region for the DNC during the 2004 presidential election under Chairman Terry McAuliffe.
For DC-focused clients, Lori raises both PAC and individual money in the Washington, DC region. Lori works closely with labor union, corporate, trade association, and progressive PACs on a daily basis given her role as the labor and PAC consultant for the DNC (Lori also served in this role for the Biden Victory Fund). Additionally, she has a proven record of raising Member money for both Red to Blue and Frontline candidates. Finally, Lori has strong ties to both K Street and individuals of high net worth nationally.
Many of her current and past clients served on prominent committees, including Appropriations, Armed Services, Energy and Commerce, Financial Services, Agriculture, and Transportation. Lori has relationships that span across all committees and raises PAC money from industries that lobby these committees.
After graduating from GW Law School, Lori spent a couple of years at one of the top lobbying firms in Washington, DC.
Lori was elected in November, 2021 as the top vote getter out of 7 candidates to the Falls Church City School Board in Virginia and will serve through 2025.
