He later served as Campaign Manager for Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian, Campaign Director for the 2012 Massachusetts Question 2 ballot initiative, and Fundraising Director for Congressmen Bill Keating (MA-09) and Raul Grijalva (AZ-07).

In 2025, Michael served as both General Consultant and Director of Fundraising Operations for Rep. Adelita Grijalva's historic Congressional special election victory in Arizona, helping to oversee a campaign built on disciplined messaging and a nationally recognized fundraising program.

A proud member of the National Writers Union, UAW Local 1985, Michael is committed to professional excellence and advocacy within the campaign space. His breadth of experience, strategic discipline, and progressive values uniquely position him to help candidates and organizations build durable campaigns and win competitive races.
