Dominic Mckenzie Cummings (born 25 November 1971) is a senior British political strategist and Chief Special Adviser to Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
From 2007 to 2014, he was a Special Adviser to the then Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove.
From 2015 to 2016, Cummings was the Campaign Director of Vote Leave, an organisation opposed to continued British membership of the European Union that took an active part in the 2016 referendum campaign on that issue.
In July 2019, the new Prime Minister Boris Johnson appointed him to the role of Special Adviser to the Prime Minister.
As per procedure, Cummings temporarily resigned his role when Parliament dissolved for the election, along with most special advisers, but was briefly reinstated to assist the government during the Yorkshire Floods.
