Samantha Maltzman, one of the Democratic Party’s most prolific and connected fundraisers, is joining the advisory board of Mercury Public Affairs, an influential public affairs firm.

Maltzman has spent two decades raising money for presidential, U.S. Senate, House, and gubernatorial campaigns, and brings Mercury a significant stable of contacts.

She has served as the finance director for Hillary Clinton’s New Jersey presidential campaign in 2008, as well as for U.S. Senators Cory Booker, Frank Lautenberg, and Bob Menendez, and Rep. Rush Holt (D-Hopewell).   Maltzman was the deputy national finance director for Booker’s campaign for the Democratic presidential campaign.   She also helped Gov. Phil Murphy in the early days of his 2017 campaign for governor.

“Samantha is one of the most respected and accomplished fundraisers in politics. Her decades of experience at the highest levels of campaigns and her unmatched relationships will bring enormous value to our firm,” said Michael Soliman, a Mercury partner who heads their New Jersey operation. “We are proud to welcome her to Mercury’s Advisory Board and look forward to the insight and expertise she will bring as we continue to expand our reach.”

Another Mercury Partner, Mo Butler, calls Maltzman “a trusted strategist to some of the most prominent leaders in the country.”

“Her record speaks for itself, and she will be an incredible asset to Mercury as we continue to grow,” he said.

Maltzman had spent about fourteen years raising money for Menendez, including his legal defense fund following his 2023 indictment on federal corruption charges.
