David Maisel
National Political Outreach Director
Having lived in other countries, Dave and his family have seen the impact of US foreign policy on the world. He’s also seen how multiparty systems in other countries give people many more choices and allow left populist parties to flourish. That led him to join the People’s Party two years ago where he works on political outreach and tech.

Michelle Ramirez
National Organizing Director
Michelle Ramirez is the National Organizing Director with the People’s Party. She lives in Kansas with her family and has been with the party since 2017. She loves spending time with her granddaughter and prides herself on having the record for the most National Calls attended, having only missed three in five years.

National Finance Director
Rodrigo Brana believes in the vision of a just, peaceful and sustainable world, which is the only option if life is going to survive and thrive on this planet. Rodrigo is a naturalized US citizen. He grew up in Argentina and Chile and lived there a few years during the military dictatorship following Chile’s 9/11. His experience in latin America informs his views on the injustice of modern day colonialism and the destructive effect of capitalism on democracy. Rodrigo is an architect and runs his own small business. Rodrigo is vegan.
