Mark D. Fabiani

Mark D. Fabiani (born 1957) is an American political strategist, crisis management expert, former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles and chief of staff to Mayor Tom Bradley, and former White House lawyer and spokesman. He is recognized for his work as special counsel to President Bill Clinton and legal spokesperson for the Clinton White House from 1994 through 1996, as well as for his work as head of communications for the Gore presidential campaign in 2000. He also served in senior positions at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and at the Department of Justice.

Fabiani and his business partner, Chris Lehane, were dubbed the "Masters of Disaster" by ''Newsweek'' as a result of the rapid-response strategy the pair employed throughout the Clinton Administration. In 2004, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom described Fabiani as "the best the Democrats have got." The pair operate the California-based strategic communications firm Fabiani & Lehane LLC.

Since 2002, Fabiani has served as special counsel to San Diego Chargers president Dean Spanos. Provided by Wikipedia
