JAKE SULLIVAN, ON IMPERFECT POLITICS
Jake Sullivan ’98 LAW ’03 is Hillary Clinton’s LAW ’73 top foreign policy advisor, a senior advisor to the U.S. government for the Iran nuclear negotiations and a visiting professor at Yale Law School. After graduating from Yale (and serving as editor-in-chief for the News), he attended Yale Law School and clerked for Judge Guido Calabresi ’53 LAW ’58 and Justice Stephen Breyer. In 2008, he advised for Hillary Clinton’s primary campaign before working for Barack Obama in the general election and ultimately advising in the Obama administrations. He left in 2014 to return to Yale Law School, and was married in New Haven in June 2015. Sullivan took a 20-minute pause from his extraordinarily busy day to chat with WKND.
