Mr. Lux served on the Clinton-Gore campaign and on their presidential transition team. Mike served as Special Assistant to President Clinton for Public Liaison in the White House, and was also named to the Obama-Biden Transition Team. He also played a role in helping launch the Center for American Progress and Air America.
