Jared Asch was born in Westchester, New York on November 11, 1978. He moved often during his childhood, and lived in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Florida and Washington, D.C. Habituated to changing environments, Jared quickly fell into the political campaign lifestyle. At age sixteen, Jared got his start in politics working on Robert Wexler's congressional campaign in Florida. In the next decade, he would develop and sharpen his talents in fundraising, and internet and political strategy serving more than a dozen campaigns.

Jared continued his political work while in college and worked in several Florida legislative offices. Most notably, he worked as Attorney General, Bob Butterworth's legislative assistant from March 1997 to May 1998.

Jared received his political science bachelor's from Florida State in 1999. He went on to join the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) in Washington, D.C. Jared was a crucial part of the team that saw its highest fundraising goal ever met-$1.2 million. He was promoted from development associate to acting development director in less than 2 years. He went on to expand the NJDC's internet revenue by 60 percent.

In March 2003, Jared entered the national political scene signing on to Senator Joe Lieberman's bid for the presidency. For the next year, Jared would raise $1.2 million in Florida -- more than any other Democratic primary candidate to date. Following Joe Lieberman's secession from the race, Jared continued to fight to help the Democratic ticket and John Kerry's team.

In April 2004, Congressman Peter Deutsch approached Jared and asked him to become his finance director for his U.S. Senate campaign. Although the position would require Jared to leave John Kerry's presidential campaign, Jared would continue to help Kerry and many other Democratic candidates' fundraising efforts in Florida. At the Deutsch campaign, Jared demonstrated his leadership skills and united the finance team which saw an increase in revenue by 34 percent.

In December 2004, Jared received his Masters in Public Administration from American University where he specialized in International Security Management.

Jared's experience and forward thinking has made him one of the best under 30 Democratic fundraisers in the country. He continues to consult for political campaigns in Florida and nationally. Working in the community Jared is a co-founder of the Miami Entrepreneurial Dinner Group and is a member of the B.N.I. Miami Beach, AIPAC Miami 360, American Jewish Congress, and the Florida Young Democrats Alumni Board. Jared spends his free time rollerblading, biking, entertaining his friends and traveling.

Erik Milman, the Research Director for Tomorrow's Strategies, is an experienced researcher with years of experience and close Florida ties. Mr. Milman worked for the Florida Police Benevolent Association for several years where he conducted opposition research on numerous candidates for the Florida Legislature. His research enabled the Florida PBA to win several hard fought and difficult races during his tenure there.

Erik has conducted research on more than 50 races in Florida, Maryland and Virginia. His research background includes Congressional, state and local races. His specialties include searching state legislative and court records. Some of his notable victories there included the 1999 Mayor's race in West Palm Beach where he discovered that the frontrunner had been charged with stock fraud and bared from being a stock broker for life in the 1970's despite the criminal records having been sealed. That information reversed the candidate's position in the polls and the frontrunner placed third on Election Day. Another success is the 2000 State Senate race where his work helped defeat Former Leon County Sheriff Eddie Boone. This experience will be important in the 2006 election since the Republicans have recruited Alachua County Sheriff Steve Oelrich.

After graduating from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. in May 1987 with a B.A. in politics, Mark A. Riordan went to work for then Florida Senator Bob Graham. Serving in various roles that included stints as mailroom director, legislative researcher and correspondent, Riordan then became the senator's assistant press secretary. Riordan left Capitol Hill in 1990 to travel the United States, Asia, South America and the Caribbean. Upon returning he began a career in Florida politics,

public affairs and the media that included high level state agency appointments, campaign management and consulting for candidates for state house, Congress, the Florida Cabinet and governor. Also during that time, Riordan earned an M.S. in Journalism in Dec. 1995 from Florida A&M University. After a short time as a general assignment reporter at a suburban Seattle daily (the Eastside Journal), Riordan returned to Florida where he was a copy editor for the Tallahassee Democrat. Following that, he became the senior writer for the accounting trade association magazine Florida CPA Today and later its editor. In 1997, he was appointed assistant director of media relations at Florida State University, where he served with distinction. The FSU Media Relations Office two years running earned the highest award in the country among universities for news writing and reporting. When America's first post-war ambassador to Vietnam, the Honorable Douglas "Pete" Peterson returned from that post to run for governor, Riordan was tapped to manage the campaign. After Peterson withdrew from the race following the terrorist attacks of 9-11, he opened Riordan Communications and has served as a campaign and/or communications consultant for a variety of campaigns, causes and organizations. In 2004, Riordan was appointed director of media relations at Florida International University in Miami, one of the nation's largest 25 universities with 38,000+ students. After a complete retooling of the media operations at FIU and helping to secure a college of medicine for the university, Riordan returned to private practice where he consults for a variety of NGOs, corporations, universities and other organizations. Among his clients are The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's annual "Cover the Uninsured Week" campaign, Hill & Knowlton Public Relations, Fleishman Hillard, Royal Palm Insurance Company, Loyola University of New Orleans, the National Democratic Institute and others. He currently lives in western Broward County, FL with his wife, Kimberly, and their two children, Kaitlyn and Mitchell.

Elana Beale was born in Sleepy Hollow, New York, and moved with her family at seven years old to Boca Raton, Florida. Throughout middle and high school, most of Elana's extracurricular revolved around two spheres: Judaism and politics. She served on the executive boards of both her local and regional temple youth groups and participated in the March of the Living. In high school, Elana served as a Grassroots Organizer for the Carol Roberts for Congress campaign and also worked on State Senator Dave Aronberg's successful campaign in 2002. This volunteer work led to an internship in Senator Aronberg's office in Greenacres for the second half of her junior year, where she was responsible for the Senator's monthly newsletter to constituents, assisting constituents, and other research endeavors.

Elana's exposure to Florida politics continued when she spent her senior year of high school enrolled in the University of Florida in Gainesville.

As a political science major, she absorbed many of the fundamentals of the Florida governmental system. She is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in American Studies from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.

At Cornell, Elana is a Campus Information and Visitor Relations Information Specialist, a public relations representative for the University; a Vice Chair of the Jewish Student Union; and serves as a Research Assistant to Prof. Isaac Kramnick, who specializes in Anglo-American political thought.
