John Aravosis (born 27 November 1963) is an American Democratic political consultant, writer, gay activist and blogger. Aravosis, an attorney who lives in Washington, D.C., is the founder of AMERICAblog and a co-founder of StopDrLaura.com.
Aravosis is a lawyer and worked on Capitol Hill as a foreign policy adviser for Ted Stevens, a Republican senator in the late 1980s and early 1990s before becoming a Democrat. He subsequently worked at the World Bank, the Children’s Defense Fund, and then started his own political Internet consulting business in 1997 and AMERICAblog, a liberal news blog dealing in politics (because, according to its masthead, “a great nation deserves the truth”),[1] in 2004.
He has also written as a stringer for The Economist and Radar[citation needed]. He has a joint law degree and masters in foreign service from Georgetown,[2] where he studied under former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
In June 2009, The Advocate listed AMERICAblog on its list of top fifteen gay blogs.
