Trusted Researcher @ Ballotpedia
About
I can be reached at emilynreckard@gmail.com for inquiries.I am a determined, hard-working, and inquisitive professional with a B.A. in Political Science from Pennsylvania State University. I am currently preparing to earn my master's degree in Political Management to fulfill my goal of electing progressive candidates to the highest offices in America. I also hope to use my experiences to continue to write about the political happenings in D.C in some capacity. My passion for politics revolves around progressive issues, specifically immigration and labor issues. Previously, I interned for U.S. Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey and U.S Representative Donald Norcross of New Jersey's First Congressional District. I served as the Chief of Staff of The Opinionated and contributed as a left-wing Op-Ed journalist for various publications. I have also held roles in organizations like Women In Politics, where I contributed as a social media content creator. I greatly look forward to connecting with you in the future!
