Team Members
Fredrick Doss - Treasurer
Freddy and Elad met in the midst of a cold war. Freddy was working in Missouri's legislature when he volunteered for a day at the summer leadership program Elad runs in the Hyde Park neighborhood, and he quickly created international alliances between countries run by the middle schoolers and the upper elementary school students. Elad was left with the kindergartners and a pack of pipe cleaners. The world was never the same.
Today, Freddy works as the Communications and Policy Specialist for Civic Ventures, focusing especially on economic policies to benefit working Americans. Previously, Freddy served as the Public Information Officer for the City of Kirkwood, and, before that, he served as a Legislative Assistant for 5 years in the Missouri House of Representatives. Freddy has worked on many campaigns, including 7 winning ones in Missouri and 1 in Washington, D.C.
Freddy received his Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from Missouri State University and holds a Masters Degree in Public Relations from Webster University.

Beth is an educator in St. Louis, so she knows firsthand how important it is for Missouri to have a responsive government dedicated to our children and willing to invest in their future. A graduate of the LeadMO training program and a self-described political nerd, Beth clearly likes to spend her free time thinking about how to elect more Democrats in Missouri.
Beth has helped multiple candidates reach voters, and she's excited to use her background to educate Missourians about the Attorney General's Office and what Missouri can be.

Saish Satyal - St. Louis County Field Organizer
Saish is currently a senior studying psychology at WashU and is President of the WashU College Democrats. He joined the campaign because he wanted the opportunity to work on a state-wide election and because he thought Elad’s dog was a good enough reason to vote for him, even aside from the candidate’s great policies.
When not thinking about the Democratic Party, you can find Saish driving to Taco Bell with his friends, watching a variety of sitcoms, or chatting with people around campus.

Elliot McGinnis- Clay & Platte Counties Field Organizer
Elliot is a double History & Anthropology major at the University of Central Missouri and one day hopes to achieve both their Master's and PhD in History.

Elliot joined the Elad campaign in the hopes of electing an Attorney General who works for ALL of Missouri.

In their downtime, Elliot enjoys spending time with their cat, Bucket, as well as playing the drums. Elliot also loves learning, so they can almost always be found with their head in a book!
