In 1981, at the age of 24, Trippi was the Deputy Campaign Manager for Mayor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Bradley_(American_politician)" title="Tom Bradley (American politician)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Tom Bradley</a>'s successful reelection bid in Los Angeles and in 1982 was Bradley's Statewide Deputy Campaign Manager for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_of_California" title="Governor of California" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Governor of California</a>.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>] In 1983 Trippi served in government for his first and only time, becoming Lieutenant Governor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_McCarthy" title="Leo McCarthy" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Leo McCarthy</a>'s Deputy Chief of Staff in Sacramento.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>]

Still in his 20s in 1983 Trippi joined the campaign staff of Vice President <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Mondale" title="Walter Mondale" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Walter Mondale</a>—first as the state director of Maine where he was credited with engineering a come-from-behind victory at the 1983 state convention for Mondale[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>]—earning him a promotion to state director of Iowa's first in the nation caucuses. After running Iowa for Mondale and winning the state by over 30 points Trippi went on to run the Pennsylvania primary effort for Mondale.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>] Mondale defeated <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Hart" title="Gary Hart" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Gary Hart</a> in Pennsylvania by 14 points.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>]

In 1985 Trippi became the deputy director of the Fund for a Democratic Majority, Senator Edward Kennedy's political action committee run by Paul Tully. Tully, along with Mike Ford, had been Trippi's superior in the Kennedy and Mondale campaigns. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Shrum" title="Bob Shrum" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Bob Shrum</a> was chairman of the Fund for a Democratic Majority. In mid-1985 Bob Shrum resigned to launch the media firm of Caddell, Doak and Shrum, and recruited Trippi to be the firm's vice president. The firm quickly became Doak and Shrum, and Trippi helped produce the media and strategy for several successful gubernatorial and U.S. Senate campaigns, including those of Virginia Governor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Baliles" title="Jerry Baliles" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Jerry Baliles</a>, Senator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Cranston" title="Alan Cranston" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Alan Cranston</a> of California, Senator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Mikulski" title="Barbara Mikulski" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Barbara Mikulski</a> of Maryland, Pennsylvania Governor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_P._Casey" title="Robert P.

Trippi left the firm of Doak and Shrum in 1987 when Paul Tully, who had become Senator Gary Hart's political director, recruited Trippi to become Hart's deputy political director. After the Miami Herald broke the story of Gary Hart and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Rice" title="Donna Rice" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Donna Rice</a>, Trippi became chief of staff to Hart's wife, Lee Hart. After Gary Hart withdrew from the race, Trippi became the national deputy campaign manager for the Gephardt For President campaign and is credited with the "Hyundai" ad in Iowa that catapulted Gephardt from last place in most polls to winning the Iowa caucuses.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>]

By the end of the 1988 presidential campaign cycle/ Trippi had become largely disenchanted with the process of politics.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>] He would appear only in cameo roles in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Wilder" title="Doug Wilder" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Doug Wilder</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Brown" title="Jerry Brown" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Jerry Brown</a> campaigns in 1992, but even in these less-engaged roles, he managed to, along with Joe Costello, introduce the successful interactive use of the 800 number in politics for the first time. (Brown would raise $8 million in 1992 from citizens contributing by calling an 800 number promoted in television ads and during televised debates.)

Trippi withdrew from presidential politics completely for the remainder of 1992, as well as in 1996 and 2000. In the 1990s, he worked as a media consultant for several campaigns, including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Moran" title="Jim Moran" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Jim Moran</a>'s 1990 victory over Republican <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Parris" title="Stan Parris" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Stan Parris</a> in Virginia's 8th Congressional District and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marjorie_Margolies-Mezvinsky" title="Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky</a>'s 1992 win in Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, which had not been won by a Democrat since 1904. Trippi produced the media for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Wyden" title="Ron Wyden" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Ron Wyden</a>'s successful bid for Oregon's US Senate seat to replace disgraced Senator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Packwood" title="Bob Packwood" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Bob Packwood</a> in a special election.

The Wyden camp had developed a very rudimentary website with the ability to gather volunteer information and accept donations. Ironically, Trippi refused to include the URL in the TV commercials, claiming, "No one knows what 'www' means". Trippi also worked for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kitzhaber" title="John Kitzhaber" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">John Kitzhaber</a>'s two successful runs for Governor of Oregon. In 2002 five Democratic members of congress were redistricted into Republican majority districts held by an incumbent Republican member of congress. Trippi produced the media and strategy for Pennsylvania Congressman <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Holden" title="Tim Holden" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Tim Holden</a>, the only Democrat of the five to win in the double-incumbent races. During this time, Trippi also got reengaged with one of his first loves from his college days in Silicon Valley technology.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>]

Trippi began to serve as a corporate consultant in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley" title="Silicon Valley" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Silicon Valley</a> to firms involved in e-commerce, online communities, and the open source movement, straddling the two worlds of politics and technology for many years. As early as 1982 he personally purchased a DEC computer and installed it in Tom Bradley's gubernatorial campaign to track targeted voter files and build a contributor database. This effort is believed to be the most advanced use of computers by a campaign at the time, if not the first actual instance of such use.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>] In 2003 Trippi went to work for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_for_America" title="Democracy for America" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Dean For America</a> as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Dean" title="Howard Dean" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Howard Dean</a>'s National Campaign Manager.

Until spring 2004, Trippi was a principal at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_consulting" title="Political consulting" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">political consulting</a> firm Trippi, McMahon & Squier, which produced advertisements for Dean's gubernatorial and presidential campaigns.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>]

Trippi currently heads the consulting firm Trippi & Associates. In the 2006 cycle, he produced the media for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hall_(US_politician)" title="John Hall (US politician)" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">John Hall</a>'s victory in New York's 19th Congressional District and for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Brown" title="Jerry Brown" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Jerry Brown</a>'s successful bid for Attorney General of California.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>]

Over the years, Trippi has been involved in various political campaigns overseas. He worked for then <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhellenic_Socialist_Movement" title="Panhellenic Socialist Movement" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Panhellenic Socialist Movement</a> leader <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_Papandreou" title="Andreas Papandreou" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Andreas Papandreou</a>'s successful campaign for Prime Minister of Greece in 1993 and advised British Prime Minister <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Blair" title="Tony Blair" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Tony Blair</a> during his successful bid for a third term in 2005.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>] He also worked on behalf of<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romano_Prodi" title="Romano Prodi" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Romano Prodi</a> in his successful bid for Prime Minister of Italy in 2006.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>]

In 2007, Trippi consulted on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_messaging" title="Text messaging" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">text messaging</a> strategies with the opposition <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Congress" title="Action Congress" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Action Congress</a> Party in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria" title="Nigeria" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Nigeria</a>.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Trippi#cite_note-1" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[1]</a>

In 2011, Trippi & Associates provided strategic support for the successful campaign of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodluck_Jonathan" title="Goodluck Jonathan" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Goodluck Jonathan</a> in the Nigerian presidential election.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Trippi#cite_note-2" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[2]</a>

Trippi has also helped train and provide strategy and advice in emerging democracies including Zimbabawe and Iraq[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">citation needed</a>] and has advised on social and political reform in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahrain" title="Bahrain" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Bahrain</a>.
