I am Neera Tanden’s chief of staff at @amprog . And I am proudly #TeamNeera
I came to work at @amprog in 2015 to start its state and local government affairs team. I had never before worked in the progressive movement, had almost no connections at CAP and didn’t meet Neera until several weeks into my job.
I led that team for almost 3 years and it was an incredible growth opportunity to work at an organization led by a strong woman. CAP’s influence and reach helped me to work across states and cities to advance really good policies that will help a lot of people.
When Neera’s chief of staff announced she was leaving in 2017 I walked right up to Neera and told her I wanted the job. I jumped at the opportunity to work for such a brilliant strategist and policy mind. And I haven’t regretted it for a moment.
The New York Times’ unwillingness to speak to anyone other than a handful of disgruntled former staff to get a picture of @amprog is deplorable. If you read Twitter today you’ll see how strong #TeamNeera really is. <3
