Christopher Joseph LaCivita (born 1966) is an American political consultant and former partner in FP1 Strategies,[1] a national public affairs and campaign firm. He most recently served as senior adviser to Donald Trump's successful 2024 presidential campaign.[2][3]
The Swift Boat Veterans, an independent-expenditure group, was credited with a significant impact on the 2004 presidential election by advancing a sharp attack on John Kerry's military record,[4] described by Mother Jones magazine as a "smear campaign," and by NPR as discredited.[5] Since 2004, he has been president of the firm Advancing Strategies LLC. LaCivita was formerly with Crosslink Strategy, a conservative lobbying and political consulting firm founded by Terry Nelson, a former John McCain advisor, and also a founding partner of FP1.
