Patrick Christmas

Chief Policy Officer

215-557-3600

Patrick oversees Seventy's local and state-level reform agendas and advocacy strategy, in addition to supporting the organization's election programming and communications. From 2014 to 2017, he oversaw the evolution of Seventy's signature Election Day field operation into a broader set of civic initiatives, including an Election Ambassador Corps for high school students, voter experience survey, and comprehensive online voter guide and toolkit. His primary duties are to work with local and state election officials to administer safe, secure, and accessible elections and to advance reforms and initiatives that bolster ethical, representative and effective government.

Before joining Seventy in 2013, Patrick taught biology and forensic science at Fels High School in Northeast Philadelphia. He holds degrees from Swarthmore College and the Fels Institute of Government.
