John Verbanac

John Verbanac is a businessman and political operative in Pennsylvania.

Verbanic earned a B.A. degree from the University of Pittsburgh College of General Studies in 1990. He worked in government and politics in Washington, D.C., as a senior aide and political strategist for two U.S. senators and a member of Congress. The fact that he also was worked as an informal adviser to former Pittsburgh Mayor Bob O'Connor during that time raised questions of impropriety.

Following his time on Capitol Hill, Verbanac entered into several entrepreneurial ventures and held a number of positions in other business endeavors. In 2010, Politics Magazine named him one of the most influential Democrats in Pennsylvania, even though Verbanac is a registered Republican according to Butler County voter registration records.
