Campaign Manager - Texas State House District 129 - Southeast Houston / Harris County / Bay Area / NASA

[Alex Karjeker]

Hi JTAL,

I'm running for State House here in Houston, TX. It's a suburban, traditionally Republican (60/40) district. I'm the Democratic nominee and am now looking for a campaign manager to help take the campaign to the next stage. It's going to be a positive campaign about how Millennials / outsiders have new ideas (outside the traditional left/right framework) that need to be taken seriously. Additional details below.

If you're interested, e-mail me at al...@alexforclearlake.com with your resume.

Thanks,

Alex
