As a campaign manager, Trippi has run presidential, Senate, gubernatorial and mayoral campaigns. In 2004, he was National Campaign Manager for Howard Dean's presidential campaign, pioneering the use of online technology to organize what became the largest grassroots movement in presidential politics. Through Trippi's innovative use of the internet for small-donor fundraising, Dean for America ended up raising more money than any Democratic presidential campaign in history, all with donations averaging less than $100 each. Trippi's innovations have brought fundamental change to the electoral system and can serve as a model for how future political campaigns are run. In addition to his work in politics, Trippi works with a number of high-tech companies and recently published his first book, “The Revolution will not be televised, Democracy the Internet and the overthrow of everything.”
