Most recently, Kamau was in his second stint on Capitol Hill as the Communications Director for Congressman Al Green (D-TX).

After earning both a BA and MPA from Texas Southern University, he got his start in Houston, TX, working on a host of local campaigns. “We’re thrilled to have Kamau join the DCCC team as we move full speed ahead to take back the House. Kamau is a skilled communicator and strategist who will be an important asset for the Committee and our candidates as we work to earn the trust of voters all across the country,” DCCC Communications Director Meredith Kelly said.
