Advertiser at Parano and Company(July-August 2016)-This was a program that needed students to advertise the 2017 election for Phil Murphy. The base was in Teaneck and people are sent out in teams to different areas and knock on people’s doors for advertising about Murphy. People are sent out with a script and inform residents about Phil Murphy’s plan for a better New Jersey with emphasis on more jobs, equal pay for equal work, increased minimum wage, and increased gun control. Residents are asked if they would like to volunteer for a grassroots campaign and if they would like a lawn sign which pledges their support.
