Heather Urban, campaign manager of Robert Daskas for CongressLas Vegas- In the coming weeks, PolitickerNV.com will be profiling some of the staffers and consultants who work so hard to get these guys and gals elected and us something to write about. Today’s subject: Heather Urban, campaign manager of Robert Daskas for Congress.

Heather Urban’s path to political activism began way down south in New Orleans where she taught special education for Teach For America after graduating from Syracuse in 1996.

“I loved teaching,” said Urban Tuesday, “but what I saw in the school system in New Orleans really had a tremendous impact on me. There was so much that needed to be fixed. Under-funded, short-staffed—I literally bought all my resources for my students.”
