Hannah Kahn

Director

As part of Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign, Hannah Kahn honed her communications skills while enduring her first Iowa winter. She saw firsthand the importance of sharing personal stories, listening twice as much as you speak, and wearing three pairs of pants to stay warm. 

Through her various roles in strategic communications — from Congressional campaign press secretary to film festival communications director — Hannah has spent her career making others’ voices heard. She’s advocated for issues like voting rights, gun safety, and reducing wealth inequality in the pages of Vogue, TIME, The Washington Post, and other publications across the country. Whether ahead of a Congressional debate or New York’s annual Climate Week, Hannah enjoys leading prep sessions for panels and interviews to integrate key messaging (and, when necessary, a few zingers) into her clients’ talking points. 

Since joining West Wing Writers, she’s penned scripts and op-eds for all kinds of thought leaders, from comedians, to nonprofit founders, to Oscar-winning actors. She works especially closely with women leaders from across industries—a film executive, a religious activist, a venture capitalist, and a Broadway producer, to (not) name a few—to advocate for child care, paid leave, abortion access, and gender equality.

Hannah graduated from Tufts University, where she studied English and political science. Originally from Westchester, Hannah now lives in Brooklyn Heights.
