Mario Piscatella is the Founder and President of MPA Political LLC.  After managing one Congressional campaign and consulting on another during his final semester at San Diego State University, Mario was hooked on campaigning.  Since graduating with a BA in Political Science, Mario has worked on numerous campaigns for Congress, US Senate, State Legislature, Governor, and Mayor. Mario spent the 2013/2014 legislative term in New Hampshire working for Speaker Terie Norelli and the Democratic House Majority. As the Communications and Policy Director, Mario worked to pass the Speaker’s agenda in support of working men and women across the Granite State. The cornerstone of this work was the passage of the New Hampshire Health Protection Program, which provided health care access to more than 50,000 low income Granite Staters through the Medicaid Expansion provisions of the Affordable Care Act.  He has a particular focus on data, and how it can be improved state to state.
