• Jorge Neri: A Chicago native with extensive experience in political strategy, Neri served as a senior adviser to President Biden and worked on campaigns for Obama and Clinton. His focus includes immigration and labor advocacy.
• Nathaly Arriola Maurice: Maurice has concentrated on increasing Latino representation in media and served in both the Biden and Obama administrations. She also advised former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
• Jess Morales Rocketto: A media entrepreneur and advocate, Morales Rocketto’s company bought 18 Hispanic-serving radio stations in 2022. She brings expertise in digital organizing from her work with the Obama and Clinton campaigns.
