Hi. The Code for America National Advisory Council (NAC) elections is happening now! Voting is open until 3 pm ET on February 9th, so it’s crucial to sit right there at your computer and vote! (Your Ballot Is Here)

I’m super excited to announce that I’m running for re-election to NAC. It has been one of my highest honors to represent the Brigade Network over the last year and I believe in the groundwork that we’ve laid. My work as included: building the framework for NAC elections, starting the knowledge-sharing base, working on the first ever Brigade Congress, representing the Network with Code for America and our partners, and more.

NAC has been busy this year, and it’s only just beginning. I’d love to serve one more year and usher in the strong knowledge-sharing base and the next NAC. I’m dedicated to supercharging our collective superpowers and will work to represent the network and Charlotte.

So vote local! Vote Jillzey for NAC!!
