Matt Lieberman is an entrepreneur, author and former educator. He’s also the son of former U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, who served as Al Gore’s running mate in the 2000 presidential contest but was an independent by the end of his political career.
We’re told that Lieberman is seriously considering a bid, telling friends he’s “fed up” with Perdue. Lieberman would be the second child of a former senator in a row to challenge Perdue. Michelle Nunn, daughter of Georgia’s Sam Nunn, was the Democratic nominee in 2014.
A graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School, Lieberman was the founder of one of the nation’s first homelessness voucher programs in New Haven and in 2000 was an adviser and surrogate to the Gore-Lieberman campaign. He also advised and campaigned for his father.
He and his family moved to Atlanta in 2005 to serve as the head of a Jewish day school and, two years later, started a group benefits consultant firm and later two tech startups. He wrote a novel in 2018 called “Lucius” focusing on race and friendship in the South.
