Christopher McDonald

Deputy Paid Relational Director (He/Him/His)

Christopher McDonald was raised on the South Side of Chicago, where he learned the importance of community building from his grandparents, who ran a food pantry and offered sewing classes. Their example compelled him to recognize the potential for making an impact in helping people on a larger scale. 

In 2008, he worked on the Obama-Biden campaign in Durham, North Carolina, and continued his efforts in the 2012 reelection campaign in Davenport, Iowa. Since 2014, he has progressed from an organizer to senior leadership roles due to the hard work he dedicated to the campaigns he was grateful to be part of.
