Michelle Sassouni
Campaign Manager
Brett Doster
Brett first met Jake a few years ago through the Tampa Bay political scene. He encouraged Jake to run because he was so impressed with the work that he was doing. He believes that Jake's experience as a business owner, his work with the Tampa Bay Young Republicans, and his young energy are exactly what a great candidate needs to succeed.
Michelle and Jake met her freshman year of college and have been inseparable ever since. In addition to being engaged to Jake, she is also his co-host on their weekly young Republican social media show, Moderately Outraged. She is supporting him in any way possible and has been especially influential in their social media presence.
Future Mother-in-law
Carol Sassouni
Carol already considers Jake a member of the family. She has seen his work through the Young Republicans and believes he has the skill set and experience that will make him a good representative. Although she has never worked on a campaign, she does have a background in fundraising for non-profit organizations and plans to use that knowlege to help Jake fundraise for his campaign.
