Tom McMahon is the Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee. McMahon has been prominently involved in several high-profile decisions and controversies involving the DNC in recent years. These includes the conflicts over 2008 Democratic presidential primary debate scheduling[1] and over prominent Democratic complaints about the content of ABC's Path to 9/11 television program.[2]
