Long-time political activist Jay Lassiter got his first taste of politics while canvassing for President Bill Clinton in 1996.
Jay arrived on the New Jersey political scene as a blogger and videographer for the popular political website BlueJersey.com.
Always the innovator, Jay went on to become the first credentialed State House blogger in the country covering the Trenton, NJ beat.
In 2008 Jay managed the online campaigns of Congressman Rob Andrews and NJ Senator John Adler's election efforts. That year he was named a "rising star" by politickerNJ.com.
In 2009 Jay managed Governor Corzine's suburban field campaign in Burlington County, the largest of NJ's 21 counties.
In 2010 Lassiter Consulting was launched. A full service political consulting and communications firm, Lassiter Consulting is thoroughly versed in the modern (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) and the traditional (direct mail, TV ads, webdesign.)
Jay has served on the board of Sustainable Cherry Hill and Garden State Equality.
Jay lives in Cherry Hill with his partner Greg and their libertarian cat.
