Kelly Dietrich

Fall 2018

Kelly Dietrich is a KU alumnus and the founder of the National Democratic Training Committee (NDTC), which equips Democratic candidates with the tools needed to start, run and win campaigns up and down the ballot. He owns eighteen years of experience in Democratic politics, working campaigns all across the country at every level of government. His specialty is new campaign creation, strategy and fundraising.

After getting his start on a congressional campaign in Kansas in 1997, Dietrich went on to work and advise dozens of candidates for U.S. House, Senate, governor, mayor and more. For several years he owned a national political consulting company with four partners and offices in Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, DC and Kansas City. Building businesses and winning campaigns are his passions. For the fun “non-work” stuff, Dietrich is a poker enthusiast, die-hard Kansas Jayhawk basketball fan and avid movie buff.
