# David Bossie President of [[Citizens United]] since 2000, and the named plaintiff-side principal behind [[Citizens United v. FEC]] (2010). Bossie's significance is that he sits at the junction of two things the KB tracks separately: the **campaign-finance deregulation arc** and the **Trump political operation**. He served as deputy campaign manager for [[Donald Trump]]'s 2016 presidential campaign and held senior roles in the 2020 reelection effort. Before Citizens United he was a congressional investigator working on Clinton-era inquiries. ## Stub — fill out - The 1990s congressional investigation work and his removal from the Burton committee staff - The full Citizens United documentary operation under his leadership - 2016 campaign role, relationship with [[Steve Bannon]], and post-2020 activity - Maryland Republican Party role and any electoral runs
