VOTE FOR DR. JAY MAHARJAN, 2024 NATIONAL DELEGATE
I am an educator, entrepreneur, foreign policy adviser, and community leader. My experience includes my tenure as a region champion and Nevada statewide leader for the White House initiative Startup America during the administration of President Obama. Collaborating under the guidance of the late Senate leader and stalwart of the Democratic Party, Harry Reid, I successfully spearheaded the Nevada region's leadership in the billion-dollar White House initiative. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in the Southwest region, contributing to significant business legislation such as the JOBS Act.
Subsequently, I was appointed as ambassador for UP Global, a non-profit initiative partnered with the State Department aimed at fostering entrepreneurship in over 135 countries. Despite my global leadership roles, my heart remained in Nevada. During my service with the White House and the State Department initiatives, I lived in Nevada and pursued advanced degrees at the University of Southern California (USC) to enhance my skills as a public administrator, with a focus on public policy and education.
Currently, I serve on the board of directors at Battle Born Academy, a Title I school in Las Vegas, furthering my commitment to education and community engagement. Additionally, I was part of the first leadership cohort in Nevada nominated as a candidate "Ready to Lead" by New American Leaders.
Presently, I proudly serve as an educator at another Title I school in East Las Vegas, where I teach college-level dual programs in English and fulfill the role of liaison and case manager for special needs students. Continuously engaged with the Nevada Democratic Party, I served as an alternate delegate for Clark County during Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign and was a part of the Foreign Policy group for Biden for President in 2020.
I earned both my master's degree, ranking at the top of my cohort, and my doctorate with a GPA of 3.9/4.0. My doctoral research at USC focused on the management practices of sovereign wealth funds in relation to regional political economy and policies influencing these funds. Recognized for my leadership work, I received the 2017 Outstanding Alumni Award from my undergraduate alma mater, Pittsburg State University, where I obtained my engineering degree.
For me, representing Nevada is a deeply held commitment. My dedication to the state is evident through my past representation of the Silver State at various national and international events. During my leadership role as a region champion for Startup Nevada, I successfully secured federal funding for the exploratory phase of rural broadband from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). I have also launched a nanotechnology initiative to make Nevada a research hub for healthcare innovations.
This is just a start! I pledge to continue making Nevada proud and humbly ask for your support. Kindly support my bid to become a national delegate at the Democratic National Convention by casting your vote for me.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jay Maharjan
