Unite America is a leading national catalyst for nonpartisan election reform, a healthier democracy, and more functional government. I helped their founder with strategic projects for over a year and placed their first Managing Director who helped oversee years of expansion and strategic wins for the organization.

In 2018, I chaired my wife’s insurgent run for New York Senate, overseeing campaign strategy, communications, team structure, and hiring. Despite being outspent 10:1, we won by 8 points, unseating a 14-year political kingpin who was caucusing with Republicans in Albany to keep Democrats in the minority, and effectively preventing many much-needed reforms for the state of New York.

Her victory dismantled his rogue caucus, returned control of the Senate to the Democrats, and set the stage for the most prolific legislative session in New York history (not hyperbole), in which she and her colleagues delivered a landslide of progressive and common-sense reforms, including:

• Enshrining a woman’s right to choose in New York’s constitution via the Reproductive Health Act.
• Passing the nation’s most strict climate change legislation, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.
• Passing key election and voting reforms, including vote by mail and same-day voter registration.
• Passing Erin’s Law, and the Child Victims Act, which collectively help prevent and prosecute crimes of child sexual assault and abuse.
• Passing the strongest sexual harassment laws in the country, as well as the Adult Survivors Act, a law that was used to prosecute Harvey Weinstein.

I was recruited to serve as Director of Talent Acquisition and Development for Hillary Clinton’s (second) campaign for President, in 2016. I was there from the start, working out of her private office in Manhattan before campaign headquarters were opened and the campaign officially launched in Brooklyn, to the bitter end – standing in the Javitz Center watching the map tip to Trump on election night. I oversaw all recruiting operations. The $1B campaign operation hired over 800 staff at HQ in Brooklyn, including engineers, designers, and data analysts, and 3,600 field organizers across the country. We built the most diverse campaign staff in history.
