Stephanie Sutton Joins Quinn Gillespie & Associates

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Quinn Gillespie & Associates (QGA) announced today that Stephanie Sutton, Democratic fundraiser and strategist, will join the firm.  Sutton will work with a wide range of clients in the financial services, telecom and energy sectors.  Initially, she will focus her attention on working with House Democrats. 

Sutton comes to QGA after serving as the Finance Director for then-Congresswoman Gellibrand (D-NY) where she developed and executed a tri-state finance plan for one of the most expensive House races in the 2008 election cycle.  Prior to joining Gillibrand for Congress, Ms. Sutton was the Deputy New York Finance Director for Hillary for President.  In this position, she aided to preserve and grow the tri-state area donor base and raised more than $45 million for the presidential campaign.

“We are very excited to have Stephanie join QGA,” said QGA’s Chairman, Jack Quinn.  “Her campaign and coalition experience will complement the firm’s work with key outside constituencies.”
 
Early in her career, Sutton was the Washington Program Manager for Third Way, where she focused on building and supporting the organization's Corporate Leadership Committee.  Prior to her engagement at Third Way, she was a Finance Associate at Nancy Johnson Consulting.

A native of Dallas, Texas, Sutton earned a B.A. in government from Georgetown University.

Quinn Gillespie & Associates (QGA) was founded in 2000 by Jack Quinn, former White House Counsel to President Bill Clinton and Chief of Staff to Vice President Al Gore, Ed Gillespie, former Republican National Committee Chairman, and Jeff Connaughton, former Clinton White House lawyer and staff assistant to Senator Joe Biden.
