Sanders campaign presentation on tap at Carson City Democratic luncheon
At Monday's Carson City Democratic luncheon, Jacob Allen will give a presentation on Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, and will field questions from area Democrats still undecided ahead of February's precinct caucuses.
Born in Reno and raised in Sparks, Jacob is a lifelong resident of Northern Nevada. He currently serves as the Northern Nevada Political Associate for Bernie 2020. He earned his BA in Economics and International Affairs from the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) after transferring from Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC).
Jacob worked a series of part time jobs to cover tuition costs, one as the defensive backs coach at Spanish Springs High School. He also signed on as an organizer for the Save Our Schools (SOS) Washoe ballot initiative that raised sales tax revenue for desperately needed school construction projects.
During his college career, Jacob developed an interest in politics. In 2015 he helped found Students for Bernie groups at both TMCC and UNR. He served in student government at both colleges and interned with Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. He also became testing coordinator at TMCC, leading the department for two years and working with low-income, immigrant and diabled community members on their English proficiency and GED attainment. This experience helped inspire him to join the Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign.
This event is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. on Monday, December 16th, at the Carson City Round Table Pizza, 3325 Retail Drive just off College Parkway. Sponsored by the Democratic Men’s Committee, these luncheons help keep the lights on at Carson City’s Democratic HQ. An all-you-can-eat pizza and salad bar lunch buffet is available for $7.99. Water is free, extra charge for fountain drinks. Suggested donations of $5 or more gratefully accepted but are not required. All are welcome.
