About the candidate: Michael Basch is a successful entrepreneur with a passion for innovative technology and a commitment to social justice, open-politics, and data-driven policy. He believes that politics as usual is the way of the past – and is reimagining both how campaigns are run and governing is done by bringing a start-up mentality to politics with a focus on tech-centric, data-driven operations and an empathy-centered policy platform that puts innovation, social justice, and community at the forefront.
