Joseph Tso

Joseph originally hails from Los Angeles, California, but spent a decade in the Washington, D.C., area after graduating from Georgetown University in 2011. Prior to arriving in Princeton, he worked for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, a public sector labor union. As a strategic analyst, Joseph developed organizing strategies for both public and private sector union campaigns, and was also involved in internal data analysis for the union. He interned this summer with the New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety, Division of Consumer Affairs. His work in organized labor has instilled in him a particular affinity for understanding collective bargaining law and its impact on working class Americans. Joseph's academic passions center around the role of public policy in marginalized communities, with a specific focus on the effects of healthcare and social services at a state and local level. In his free time, he enjoys basketball, video games, and mahjong.
