He previously worked as a field organizer for Obama for America in Colorado during the general election. He started out by interning for the Iowa caucuses in December 2007, then volunteered for the California and Pennsylvania primaries in early 2008. Before working for the Obama campaign, Eduardo was a field organizer for Lt. Col. Charlie Brown's 2008 congressional campaign in Placerville, CA.

2008-01-24 02:23:32 Hey, Eduardo, I linked a few things from your public profile and noticed that the wiki does not yet have entries for the Department of Public Health Sciences or Students for Barack Obama. The first is fairly important to have, and the latter is one of those subjects that will vanish into history unless somebody writes a bit about it now for the historical record. It would be great if you could contribute a couple paragraphs to the wiki about these topics. —JabberWokky
