Charles Robert Chamberlain is an American political leader. He is the executive director at Democracy for America (DFA), a progressive, people-powered political action committee, headquartered in Burlington, Vermont.

Chamberlain grew up in California and has lived all across the country. He was born in Los Angeles on October 25, 1969. Charles married Alejandra Lorenzo, one of the original singers in the platinum recording group Exposé, on December 20, 1996. He has worked for several political organizations including Progressive Campaigns, Inc., Capital Campaigns, Democracy Resources, and currently Democracy for America (DFA) headquartered in Burlington, Vermont.

On July 9, 2006 Chamberlain began as the political field director at Democracy for America (DFA), after spending three years as volunteer leader for DFA Miami-Dade. As Political Director for DFA, Charles led campaigns for progressive candidates and causes. Some of his major accomplishments include Ned Lamont for Senate in 2006, the DFA Pulse Poll, the 2008 campaign to shut down the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, and pushing for the Public health insurance option in 2009.

In 2006 Chamberlain led the campaign for Democratic Connecticut Senate candidate Ned Lamont. Lamont ran against Senator Joe Lieberman in the 2006 August Democratic Senate primaries. Both Lamont and Lieberman had opposing positions on the Iraq War: Lamont centered his campaign around his own anti-war views while Lieberman continued to support military involvement in Iraq. Lamont won the primaries, but lost in the September general election to Lieberman. Despite Lamont’s loss in the general election, Charles saw the Lamont campaign as successful in another sense; it inspired Democrats across the country to run their 2006 campaigns on ending the Iraq War.
