Pili Tobar Biography

Maria del Pilar Tobar is a Guatemalan American political strategist and communications expert recognized as one of the first openly LGBTQ+ members of a White House communications team. Tobar graduated from the University of Miami with a double major in motion pictures and political science and earned a Master of Public Administration. Her career spans politics, advocacy, and multicultural communications, with a focus on Latino and immigrant communities.

Tobar's experience includes roles on Capitol Hill, in advocacy organizations, and on political campaigns. She served as director of Hispanic media for the Democratic National Committee, communications director of Latino Victory Project, and Hispanic media director for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. As spokesperson and deputy director for America's Voice, a pro-immigrant organization, Tobar advanced public affairs and advocacy communications on immigration policy and Latino issues.

Before her White House service, Tobar was communications director for the Presidential Inaugural Committee and communications director for coalitions for the Biden for President campaign. In these roles, she managed outreach and communications strategies for Hispanic media, African American media, women media, AAPI media, tribal media, disability media, ethnic media, faith media, LGBTQ+ media, progressives, rural media, seniors, small business, veterans and military families, and youth outlets, emphasizing coalition building and inclusive messaging.

Tobar served as White House deputy communications director during the Biden administration, overseeing a communications portfolio that included immigration, climate, and LGBTQI+ issues. She acted as a bilingual spokesperson in Spanish, delivering the administration's message to Spanish-speaking audiences nationwide.

After her White House tenure, Tobar became a partner at Fireside Campaigns and later at Conexión, continuing her work in strategic communications and public affairs. As a keynote speaker, she addresses topics such as communication, government, LGBTQ issues, and politics. Tobar's career demonstrates a commitment to inclusive storytelling and the use of strategic communications to advance policy and social change.
