Each graduating class of Arena Academy, a week-long training program designed to train the next generation of campaign leaders, competes in a competition known as the Arena Cup. This exercise grouped up trainees from each track - Communications, Digital, Organizing, Campaign Directing, and Finance. Together, each team was tasked with building out a campaign in a key battleground district.

Our campaign was to elect Lucas Álvarez for Congress, representing Miami-Dade County. You’ll see this fictional candidate is depicted by Lin-Manuel Miranda (assigned with prompt).

I served as Communications Manager, partnering with our Digital Manager to develop copy, speeches, brand, messaging, and digital assets. Our team received special recognition for our branding and digital work.
