With over two decades of political and legislative experience working for some of the highest profile and senior members of the United States Senate and the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, Mr. Khan’s unique blend of talents include a keen understanding of the legislative process, political strategy and the ability to effectively shape messaging to influence policy.

Mr. Khan returned to the firm in February 2014 after leaving in 2012 to serve as Deputy Staff Director for the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.

Additionally, for three election cycles beginning in late 2002, Mr. Khan served as Finance and Political Director to Senator Dianne Feinstein. During the 2008 election cycle, Mr. Khan established Senator Feinstein’s Leadership PAC and successfully designed and implemented a $4.25million candidate assistance program that focused on targeting and assisting the most competitive Senate and House races during that election cycle.  Additionally, Mr. Khan served as Finance Director to Senator Chris Dodd.
