Nathan McNeil hails from the great state of Washington, and has been stranded in New York City for much of the past ten years. Nathan worked with some of the Act New York crowd during the 2004 election cycle, and spent that Election Day weekend running around Philadelphia with posters and canvassing sheets. He continued to work with ACT NOW during the 2006 election season, and joined the Leadership Group shortly thereafter. Outside of politics, Nathan spends a great deal of time planning backpacking trips and wandering the city in search of delicious foods. He has worked in the areas of community economic development, social policy research, and is currently employed by a transportation agency.
