"Growing up as a constituent of Rep. Horsford's, I was so grateful for the opportunity to join his 2024 campaign through DigiDems and enter politics for the first time. After DigiDems, I was offered the chance to bring my expertise to Capitol Hill as the Congressman's Communications Specialist—a dream come true!"

“I loved working with DigiDems because they made the campaign space accessible to people like me who wanted to get involved with advocacy but didn’t know where to start. Since working on a campaign, I have made lifelong connections in the advocacy space and gone on to volunteer with my local democratic party. I also landed my dream advocacy job thanks to DigiDems extensive network!”
