Alejandro Flores-Munoz (he/his) is the Program Director for America Votes Colorado and a self-taught entrepreneur. Alejandro’s mother brought his family to the United States in 1997 and instilled strong progressive values in him from a young age, introducing him to organizing and local campaign work in Santa Ana, CA. After years of working on state and local elections in California and a successful campaign of his own for Student Body President at Santa Ana College, Alejandro began working at Grassroots Campaigns where he lead campaign projects in New York City, Boston, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Denver.
Alejandro is also driven by a strong sense of entrepreneurship that inspired him to open two businesses, Unum Sunglasses, and Progressive Button and to become a partner in Stokes Poke, a Denver Food Truck. Alejandro has received several notable honors, including a proclamation from the City of Santa Ana naming June 2nd, 2015 Alejandro “Alex” Flores Day for his service to the city and being selected by Denver Startup Week 2018 to moderate a panel on immigrant businesses in Colorado. Alejandro hopes to one day run for public office and will use his upbringing and life experiences to drive his policy agenda.
“I am looking forward to building a stronger movement that is inclusive and thoughtful of communities of color in paving the way for the next wave of directors, administrators, and activists to become the foundation of Colorado’s social justice ecosystem and framework.“
