Tom Hughes is a DFA Democrat. Promoted to Executive Director of Democracy for America in February 2005, he oversees the committee's endorsement process, the agenda for over 470 local groups, and the coordination of more than 100 volunteer organizations. He works closely with DFA Chair Jim Dean on framing, messaging and fundraising.

Hughes was the field and political director of DFA in 2004 and worked to leverage Governor Howard Dean's strategic advantage on the DNC Chair campaign in early 2005. During the 2004 Democratic primary season Hughes led the Dean for America field program in New Hampshire.

Prior to the Dean campaign, Hughes managed former Vermont Lt. Gov. Doug Racine's gubernatorial race in 2002. In 2000, he was the deputy finance director and an advance team member for the Gore-Lieberman campaign. During his tenure as executive director of the Vermont Democratic Party in 1998, he helped re-elect then-Gov. Dean and a state legislature that went on to pass Vermont's historic civil unions legislation.
