Early Life and Education

From a young age, Adrienne was inspired to work in the political field as her parents were close friends with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Her mother who worked as an attorney became close friends with Hillary, as the two were a few of the female attorneys at that time. Her father, on the other hand, knew Bill, as the two went to the same college together.

These family friends helped shed more light onto the political world for her. She eventually attended Siloam Springs High School, which is the only one that serves their county. After matriculating, she took up a degree in journalism, moving to Fort Worth, Texas to enroll at Texas Christian University (TCU).

The university has been running since 1873, and is governed primarily by the Disciples of Christ. Following the completion of her degree, her family connections quickly led her into a very deep part of the political sphere, as she became a part of the administration of then-President Bill Clinton. She worked as an executive assistant serving under the president, for Intergovernmental Affairs.

Political Career

After some time she was promoted to a special assistant in the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Her position meant that she worked with then-Secretary Andrew Cuomo, on programs that helped regulate and control gun ownership in the country.

The impeachment of Clinton meant the end of her run in the government as well, but she remained connected.

She returned to Kansas and became a member of the Arkansas Democratic Party. During this time, she served as the communications director of the party, helping several candidates including Mark Pryor who ran a successful senatorial campaign. During this time, she looked into political consulting, and worked for a local firm located in Little Rock. However, she only stayed in this position for a brief time as she was contacted by Representative Mike Ross to serve as a communications director.

She moved back to Washington DC and served there for over a year, but during this time she took a break from work to help with the campaign of Representative Nick Lampson, in his bid to be a Representative of Texas.

Building Experience and Continued Campaign Work

After this work, she joined the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, assigned as their regional press secretary. Her position meant that she had to travel across the country, working with various Democratic candidates for office, and was one of the key figures in the large-scale Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives in 2007. The following year she became the Deputy Chief of Staff of Florida Representative Ron Klein, helping with many of his planned policies.

Her achievements didn’t go unnoticed, as she was featured in an article by “Politico”, detailing her work. Her next big project was the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton in 2008, for which she served in numerous positions including Press Secretary and Communications Director. After Clinton opted out of the race, she then moved to work with one of Hillary’s companies, Correct the Record. She also worked for American Bridge, and these two companies were responsible for reporting correct news, in turn, defending against the many allegations against Clinton from her political rivals. While doing so, she also became a part of the team of Loretta Sanchez, who served as a Congresswoman for California.

Since then, she has been a regular part of the network, working as a contributor.
