Progressive Profile
| Current Employer | Jiro Johnson for Salt Lake |
| Current Occupation | Campaign Manager |
| Tagline | Political Organizer who is interested in winning campaigns and building communities across America. |
| Bio | In 2022 I got my start on a US Senate Campaign in my home state of Utah fighting for a candidate that wanted to clean the air and water, and protect our public lands. In 2024 I was fortunate enough to work on the New Hampshire Coordinated Campaign for Kamala Harris where we were able to win the state for Harris and sweep the congressional races for Maggie Goodlander and Chris Pappas. I worked in what was in 2020 the reddest county in the state and I thrived there in the largest turf of any organizer with the 2nd most volunteers on the campaign by the end of the elections. I learned a lot from that great group of people and decided to take those skills back to Utah and see what I could do for my local communities as a campaign manager. I won my first election as a manager in June 2025 electing Jiro Johnson for County Councilor and am adding clients to my political consulting firm for the 2025 mayoral races in November. I love winning more than anything. I love a challenge and I love working towards building, developing, and knowing that I’m helping to create real change and the America I grew up loving. My goal is to continue to win wherever I go and in 2026 find a new challenge during the mid-terms. |
| Impact | I helped to elect congressmen, state reps, and county councilors across Utah and New Hampshire. In Belknap County, I built a volunteer network of 750 people across 11 towns to help those local committees in their future elections after I finished my work. My county council win was by 3 votes in the 14th round of ranked choice voting, so without me there would definitely be someone who is less qualified than my client in that seat. |
| Mission | In the short term, I would like to continue my campaign work and get the right people elected in pivotal elections over the next 2 years. This country is in a very delicate place and the right people need to be in control over the next few years to get us back on track. Everything else is secondary if we can’t fix what we failed to do in 2024. Long term, I want to work for organizations that build communities and stand up for the right things. Organizations that make real change and work across party lines to accomplish our missions. I have particular interest in foreign policy and supporting green initiatives. |
