Welcome Ariel!

We’ve got another great guest blogger to introduce folks. Ariel will be blogging the next two weeks while I take a much needed vacation (from work and the internetz).

About Ariel:

Ariel Boone is a junior at the University of California, Berkeley, where she is an elected student government member. She’s deeply involved in California Democratic politics, queer organizing, and the progressive coalition at U.C. Berkeley, CalSERVE. Beginning in June 2008, Ariel volunteered extensively for the Obama campaign in Reno and worked for a congressional campaign in California while interning in the California State Assembly. She continued commuting to Reno through the fall, while organizing voter registration drives, student lobby days for marriage equality, and on-campus events for the Cal Berkeley Democrats. She is currently finishing up an internship in DC at a national security think tank before she returns to school.
She maintains a blog, To Love My Country, and wrote in the community most recently about the discrepancy in White House seniority between men and women. A slam poet, a music and political economy major, and a self described “policy wonk,” Ariel likes to write about statistical analysis, California politics, and the media. She is also on Twitter.

Give a warm welcome to Ariel!
