In December 2016, he was named Executive Director of the American Action Network and Congressional Leadership Fund, one of the leading independent political organizations and SuperPACs in the U.S. On his appointment, The New York Times referred to Bliss as "one of his party's most closely watched young strategists.
In 2012, Bliss was named manager for Linda McMahon's second campaign for U.S. Senate in Connecticut, as the businesswoman and WWF executive completely overhauled her political team from her previous bid two years earlier.

"[16] In naming Bliss to head American Action Network, Chairman Norm Coleman said, "Corry is one of the best young operatives in the country and just managed one of the best campaigns of the 2016 cycle .
