Andy Spahn is Hollywood’s premier political fundraiser, orchestrating high-profile events that generate substantial funds for Democratic candidates. Notable achievements include a 2012 dinner at George Clooney’s home raising $15 million for Obama and virtual events during the COVID-19 pandemic raising $20 million for Biden. As the founder of Gonring Lin Spahn, Spahn bridges Hollywood and political fundraising, assisting Democrats like Biden in their campaigns.
Spahn’s clients include prominent figures such as Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen, Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and organizations like NBC Universal. His efforts are crucial for Biden’s 2024 reelection and Democrats’ goals to maintain Senate control and regain the House.
Spahn’s political activism began in his youth, opposing the Vietnam War and apartheid, leading to his involvement in Tom Hayden’s 1976 Senate campaign. He later worked with Norman Lear on environmental TV plots and advised David Geffen’s charitable donations at DreamWorks SKG. After DreamWorks’ sale to Paramount in 2006, Spahn founded his own firm to connect Hollywood and Washington, D.C., with strategic expertise.
