Job Description: Social Media Director, Scott Stringer for New York City Mayor
About Scott:
For the last seven years as City Comptroller — and, before that, as a leading progressive in the New York State Assembly and as Manhattan Borough President — Scott Stringer has been a strong and consistent voice for a city for everyone: housing that middle- and low-income New Yorkers can afford… quality public education and city-backed childcare... fully funded higher education, mass transit, and public housing systems... and criminal justice and police reform to end police violence and mass incarceration.
Now Scott Stringer is a leading candidate to become New York City's next mayor, and he is building a people-powered campaign to organize every community in the city.
