About the ALP


The American Leadership Project (ALP) is an independent 527 organization founded in February of 2008. Although the ALP does feel that Hillary Clinton is the ideal Democratic Candidate for President of the United States, it does not coordinate with the Clinton campaign. The ALP was founded to help inform the public of the stark contrasts between Obama and Clinton on issues of importance to voters.

“Our purpose is to encourage audiences to look beyond the campaign speeches and political rhetoric to specific proposals to address these core issues,” says an ALP mission statement obtained by ABC News.

Currently the ALP is operated by:

  • Jason Kinney, a former senior communications advisor and the chief speechwriter to former California Governor Gray Davis
  • Erick Mullen, a political consultant who has worked for the presidential campaigns of Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.), former Sen. Bill Bradley, and the 1998 Senate run of Chuck Schumer
  • Mattis Goldman, a former ad maker for Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland
  • Paul Rivera, a senior political adviser for the 2004 Kerry-Edwards campaign, and a former Clinton/Gore White House staffer
  • Roger Salazar, who worked as assistant press secretary in the Clinton/Gore White House, a national spokesman for Sen. John Edwards’ during the 2004 presidential race, a national spokesman and the deputy press secretary of the 2000 presidential campaign of Al Gore, and as the press secretary for former California Governor Gray Davis

    • The law firm representing the group is Remcho, Johansen & Purcell, LLC. Accounting and bookkeeping is being handled by Nancy Warren of the San Francisco-based Warren & Associates LLC.
