Terry McAuliffe has been a major business leader for many years, and his accomplishments in the financial world speak for themselves. He has established over twenty-four companies in the diverse fields of insurance and banking, as well as marketing and real estate. Furthermore, McAuliffe was one of the most successful Democratic Party chairmen when he was able to turn the whole Democratic Party around from excessive debts to a profitable concern – all in the short period of 2001-2005 when McAuliffe served as chairman.
