Are you looking to gain experience in running a political campaign? Are you looking to branch out and meet new people and make new friends? Are you looking to bring positive changes to NYC? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then this opportunity may be right for you.

The Committee to Elect Eliseo Santos For Mayor is an independent political committee, looking to bring much needed changes to the NYC Public School educational system, which has been failing students and families in not preparing them for the jobs of the future that will mostly involve Computer Science and Computer Programming. Our campaign supports the following causes:

-Changes to NYC Public School curriculum that will better prepare students for college and S.T.E.M jobs.

-An initiative to create an open system where NYC Residents can watch the live feeds of all on-duty NYPD and FDNY, all of whom will have body cameras, in order to prevent the spread of corruption and police brutality.

-Help Straight and LBGT families get the benefits they need to successfully start and maintain a family

-Make changes to the city- tax code to give tax-incentives for property owners and developers who create skyscrapers above 70 stories.

-To reduce homeless families, our campaign proposes giving a housing voucher to families who have children in NYC public schools.
