President Benjamin Manzano-Coleman
Mr. Coleman is a lifelong Democrat, and Native Texan, who has dedicated his life to bringing more people into the world of politics. The very first campaign he worked on was in Dallas with his father at the age of 8. Since moving to Tarrant County he has made a big impact working on multiple campaigns, as well as being elected precinct chair of precinct 1094 and as president of TCYD. When asked for a quote to sum up his political career he replied, “it’s all about getting out to people you don’t necessarily think of. We need to be a voice for the Voiceless and make sure no person feels their voice and vote don’t matter because they absolutely do”.
