Alex Clemens’s Summary

I work at a public affairs company in San Francisco that serves the Bay Area. I'm a former aide to four electeds in San Francisco and a Clinton administration Assistant Secretary, licenced private investigator in California, and founder of SFUsualSuspects.com, San Francisco's political homepage.

If it involves community work or governmental relations, I've probably been there and done that a few times. We have a fantastic team at Barbary Coast, and Jaime Rossi, Katherine Higgins, David Jensen, Alexis Ward, Jaime Salinas, Burnell Holland, Marivic Tolentino, Lindsey Hilde and Ixchel Vargas-Mendoza join with me to do good work for our diverse set of clients every day.
