ALEC - MANHATTAN

Alec wants Carolyn to be re-elected to Congress because "she is not afraid to stand up to Wall St. and big business and because she always fights for the common man."  He's always been interested in politics and is interning for Carolyn's campaign because he felt it would be a great learning experience.  The first thing Alec did for the Maloney campaign was help with the petitioning process in Peter Cooper Village.  Alec likes working on the Maloney campaign because he's able to visit neighborhoods that he's never had the opportunity to explore.  Between now and Primary Day Alec is going to help Carolyn win by knocking on doors and calling voters to help GET OUT THE VOTE!

GABRIEL - TEANECK

Gabriel got involved in the Maloney campain because he's "been a fan of her work in Congress."  When he heard about the internship opportunity he just had to come out and help.  Gabriel wants Carolyn to be re-elected because she is willing to stand up to Wall Street to prevent another economic collapse, and because of her commitment to increase transportation options for New Yorkers by getting federal funding for the Second Avenue subway.  The first thing Gabriel did for the Maloney campaign was to help with the petition process.  Gabriel likes working on the campaign because he's able to "walk around the city and listen to people share their opinions about the campaign."  Between now and Primary Day Gabriel is going to help Carolyn win by "continuing to talk to my fellow citizens (knocking doors, making phone calls, and more) about why Carolyn deserves to be sent back to Washington to keep fighting for us"

Gareth wants Carolyn to be re-elected because "I strongly believe in her social and economic priorities (everything from immigration to healthcare), and, as far as the Second Avenue Subway goes, will be a grateful beneficiary of her efforts in Congress."  Gareth first got involved in the campaign because he always wanted to be involved in politics in some way.  And what better way to do that than to experience a campaign in the city he loves and working for a Congresswoman he supports?  The first time he volunteered with the Maloney campaign he went door to door campaiging.  Gareth enjoys the volunteer experience because he likes "meeting the people – the amazing diversity of Maloney supporters, the people who show boundless appreciation for our work to help her get re-elected, and, of course, the other people working on the campaign."  Between now and primary day Gareth is going to help Carolyn win by "doing what we’ve always been doing: reaching out to voters and telling them what Carolyn has done, and why they should vote for her."

LINDA - FOREST HILLS

Linda got involved in the Maloney campaign because she was interested in interning for a campaign this summer.  She looked for a local politician whose policies she supported and who had an impressive track record. Carolyn Maloney was her choice.  Linda wants to see Carolyn re-elected because "she is a fighter for everything she believes in.  She has passed great legislation in the past that has improved the conditions of her community. She has fought for women, for health care, for jobs, and for consumer protection with her Credit Card Bill of Rights. Even though she has done so much, she still understands that there is much more that can be accomplished. I want Carolyn to be reelected to get the job done."  Linda likes working on the campaign because she's "working with so many people who care about what they do and will work tirelessly to get Carolyn reelected."  She loves seeing enthusiastic supporters and voters who are behind Carolyn 100%.  Between now and Primary Day she is going to help Carolyn win by "making phone calls asking for support, going canvassing door to door telling voters about Carolyn’s policies, and helping enter data to make sure the database is updated and running smoothly and efficiently."

DIWAKAR - FOREST HILLS

Diwakar got involved in the Maloney campaign because "the Congresswoman is one of the best members of Congress and I wanted to be part of the team that helps keep her in Washington."   He wants to see her re-elected because she has "procured funds for the construction of the Second Avenue Subway line, which will make the commute in Manhattan much easier for me and many New Yorkers.  Carolyn has also helped make college more affordable by fighting to increase the amount of aid given to college students, which has helped me and many of my friends.  Since the Congresswoman’s work has helped me and many of my friends."  The first thing Diwakar did for the campaign was help increase the Congresswoman’s visibility by convincing local business leaders to put campaign signs in their windows.  What he likes most about working for the Maloney campaign is "telling voters about Carolyn’s stances on the issues because I know after hearing them, they will support the Congresswoman."  Between now and the election Diwakar is going to contribute to Carolyn’s victory by "informing as many voters possible about how much the Congresswoman has helped her constituents and the country."
