"In 1991, fresh out of college, I approached Steve Grossman about the need for more young people in the Democratic Party leadership. He challenged me to organize that effort, and several meetings later, the Massachusetts Coalition for a Democratic Future was born. With Steve's support as Party Chairman, we built a thriving organization of young Democratic activists that remains strong today. Steve has been a friend and mentor to me ever since. I'm supporting Steve Grossman for Treasurer because he cares, he works harder than anyone I've ever known, and he gets things accomplished."

"Steve and I met on the Brandeis University Board of Trustees in 1999. I had just been elected Student Representative to the Board and he was beginning his tenure as Chairman. Steve invited me to breakfast and, after refusing to let me call him 'Mr. Grossman,' shared with me his belief that direct student input was needed at the highest levels of the university’s governance. He always valued my opinions and treated me as a friend and equal. In doing so, he helped empower students to have a voice." Read More!

"In 1997, Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Steve Grossman took a major risk in selecting me to serve as the youngest political director in party history. On the heels of the 1996 presidential election, the DNC was millions of dollars in debt, and in 1998, the president faced charges of impeachment. With our 'right voters, right places' strategy and an untested and unorthodox team of organizers and new technologies, we made history despite the challenges." Read More!
