Lis Smith is a veteran Democratic communications consultant, best known as communications director for the Pete Buttigieg presidential campaign. Her 'more is more' instinct about engaging with the media was an essential component of the strategy to bring Mayor Pete out of nowhere and turn him into a major contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination — much to the irritation of various US senators he leapfrogged in Iowa and other contests. Fittingly, she has a revealing new memoir, 'Any Given Tuesday: A Political Love Story,' about her career highlights and lowlights working for Pete, Barack Obama, Bill de Blasio, Andrew Cuomo and others. She shares favorite stories from the book, and also offers ideas about how an increasingly insular party can re-learn how to connect with ordinary voters.
