Hello. My name is John D. Blake. I am from Las Vegas, Nevada, and I am a MPP/MS Candidate at the University of Michigan. My undergraduate studies at Lehigh University led me to a BA in Political Science and International Relations with a minor in German. I was a United Nations Youth Representative for the NGO Tarumitra, which is an environmentally-focused, youth-led organization dedicated to teaching young people about sustainable living and climate action.In the past I have interned for the Nevada Democratic Party as a campaign fellow as well as in Congressman Steven Horsford’s District Office in North Las Vegas.
