Officers | MYD | the Manhattan Young Democrats

	President: Ben Yee Benjamin Yee is a native New Yorker. He’s been a Democrat his whole life and young for as long as he can remember. Here’s some stuff he’s done: In 2008, Ben began his life in organizing working for the Obama Campaign as a fundraiser and, later, New Media Director and Voter File Manager for New York State. He then went on to join the Manhattan Young Democrats, serving as Vice President and focusing on engaging young New Yorkers in local issues. Since 2010, Ben has served as the Downstate Region Vice President for the New York State Young Democrats and is super psyched to be President of Manhattan Young Democrats for 2013. Ben attended the University of Michigan where he studied Economics and Political Science. He still works in tech, though, to avoid ever having to wear a tie or wake up before 10 and highly recommends the field. You can reach Ben at president [at] goMYD [dot] com.
