Office of Council Member Carlos Menchaca

March, 2014 to December 2017

Director of Legislative Affairs

In 2014, after having worked in Carlos Menchaca's successful campaign for a seat in the New York City Council, I began working on legislation which involved evaluating and recommending support or opposition of proposed legislation, assisting on the development of legislation, and monitoring the progress of proposed legislation.  Other responsibilities included briefing the Council Member on topics to be covered in Committee hearings and chronicling his official activities.  I considered this an unsalaried position rather than a volunteer activity.  At the end of 2017, after he was elected to a second 4-year term, I transitioned these responsibilities to others, in order to prepare for our relocation to Columbia County.
