“I don’t understand how DC’s Democratic leaders are so paralyzed and unprepared for this moment after living through President Trump’s first term — and after Trump and Elon warned us exactly what they planned to do.”
Chakrabarti’s campaign taps into growing concerns among Americans who believe older members of Congress should step aside for younger leadership.
A Proven Progressive Strategist
Chakrabarti is no stranger to challenging political powerhouses. As the campaign manager for Ocasio-Cortez in 2018, he helped her defeat ten-term Congressman Joe Crowley in one of the biggest upsets in recent Democratic primary history.
He later served as AOC’s first chief of staff, championing progressive policies and pushing for systemic change within the party.
Before working with AOC, Chakrabarti had a background in tech and was instrumental in Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign. He is also a co-founder of Justice Democrats, an organization dedicated to electing progressive candidates.
