In January 2017, Plouffe was hired by Mark Zuckerberg to lead policy and advocacy at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. He led a board alongside Ken Mehlman.[1] In March 2020 Plouffe, published his book entitled A Citizen’s Guide to Defeating Donald Trump.[2] On page 81 of his book, Plouffe identifies that the 2020 presidential election will come down to a “block by block street fight” to turn out the vote in the urban core, a key stronghold of Democratic Party votes. Plouffe specifically highlighted high turnouts in Milwaukee, Detroit, and Philadelphia as the key to a Democrat victory.
Soon after, the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) whose previous annual revenues never exceeded $1.2 million, began sending agents into states to recruit certain Democrat strongholds to prepare grants requesting monies from CTCL. For example, CTCL approved a $100,000 grant to the Mayor of Racine, WI in May of 2020 directing the Mayor to recruit four other cities (Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison, and Milwaukee) to develop a joint grant request of CTCL. This effort results in these cities submitting a “Wisconsin Safe Election Plan” on June 15, 2020 to CTCL and, in turn, receiving $6.3 million to implement the plan. This privatization of elections undermined the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which requires state election plans to be submitted to federal officials and approved and requires respect for equal protection by making all resources available equally to all voters.
The provision of Zuckerberg-CTCL funds allowed these Democrat strongholds to spend roughly $47 per voter, compared to $4 to $7 per voter in traditionally Republican areas of the state.
Obama Presidential advisor
In December 2010 Plouffe was paid $100,000 by an Iranian cell phone company for two speeches;[3] the following month he was appointed a Senior Advisor to Obama.[4][5]
Organizing for America
On January 22, 2009, Plouffe announced the launch of Organizing for America.[6]
In February 2017, Plouffe was fined $90,000 by the Chicago Board of Ethics for the violation of ethics rules when he failed to register as a lobbyist after contacting Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to help Uber with regulations for picking up travelers at Chicago airports. The board fined Uber $2,000 as well for hiring a lobbyist who violated the city's lobbying laws.[7]
In 2019, Politico reported he joined the Board of Directors of liberal nonprofit ACRONYM, where he would advise an anti-Trump digital campaign.[8][9]
