Bio

Donny is the Research Director for NOI’s Candidate Project, helping to consolidate and organize information about local elections across the country. Before he became “Donny Vegas” for NOI, he was “Donny Teacher” to 2nd through 8th graders in Seoul, Korea. Donny is a 2007 graduate of Stanford University, where he obtained bachelors’ degrees in Political Science and Philosophy. He also was a member of the Stanford Debate Society, competing at national and international competitions throughout his career. Nowadays, he spends his time chuckling about absurd-sounding elected offices, sporadically writing uneven pieces of short fiction, and working on ill-conceived art projects involving Ingmar Bergman films.
