Add to my speaker list

Jack Cocchiarella built his platform by doing something most political media avoids: letting real conversations play out in real time. With more than 1.4 million YouTube subscribers and nearly 2 million followers across platforms, he has become a leading progressive voice for audiences who want substance over spin. His interviews with figures like Governor Gavin Newsom, Zohran Mamdani, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries land because they are direct and driven by the questions voters are actually asking.

A recent Columbia University graduate in Political Science, Cocchiarella approaches politics with fluency and urgency. As a speaker, he offers a front-row view of how political narratives take shape online, how trust is built with younger audiences, and why credibility now matters more than polish. His perspective resonates with organizations trying to understand where influence is coming from and how quickly it can move.
