David Herle received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Regina and was called to the Bar in Ontario after receiving his LLB from the University of Saskatchewan.
Herle worked on John Turner's leadership bid.
Herle, a partner with Rubicon Strategy[1], was previously a senior partner at Earnscliffe Strategy Group and a top advisor to former Prime Minister Paul Martin.
During the 2004 election, as prospects for the Liberals began looking poor, Herle was a strong advocate of attacking Martin's primary opponent, Stephen Harper.
During the several years that Herle worked for the Ontario Liberal government, his firm was paid $3.4 million.
