CAMPAIGN INTERN

TEXAS / FALL 2022 / INTERNSHIP

Mike Collier is the Democratic Nominee for Texas Lt. Governor. In 2018, he ran the closest race for Lt. Governor in two-decades and outperformed the rest of the ticket in ⅔ of Texas counties. In 2020, he served as the Senior Advisor for Texas to then-Vice President Joe Biden. Mike is intent on reaching every voter in every county, and together we’ll build the infrastructure to beat Dan Patrick.

He is driven by a passion to fully fund our public schools, defending our constitutional rights, and fixing the damn grid. More information on the Collier campaign can be found here.
