Jared Jageler

Jared’s dedication to public service began in his home state of Rhode Island. His leadership in his local Jewish community led to an interest in advocacy and public policy. He studied Economics at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where his honors theses received publication for its novel findings of the Clean Air Act reducing race-based disparities in PM2.5 exposure. When the pandemic interrupted school, Jared dove full-time into community organizing in the Twin Cities; first, promoting Latino voter engagement and environmental justice at COPAL MN, then as a field organizer for the Biden Campaign and the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL). Jared began his professional career as an Assistant Analyst at the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in the Microeconomic Studies Division. His published work includes modeling effects of policies related to climate change adaptation, natural disasters, permitting reform, and R&D and innovation. Upon leaving the CBO, he spent the summer enjoying his favorite pastime: exploring New England’s public lands with his wife. Following his studies at Princeton, he hopes to work on state and federal budgets to promote thriving communities, environments, and economies.
