Jared Goerke brings years of hands-on experience and a steadfast commitment to transparency, accountability, and grassroots leadership. With a strong background in campaign finance, he has served as treasurer for dozens of candidate and political committees across New York State—bringing a detail-oriented and financially sound approach that supports both compliance and strategic growth.

Jared holds an M.A. in Public Administration from St. John’s University, where he focused on responsible fiscal governance and effective governmental operations. He previously worked for several years in the New York State Assembly, serving under Judiciary Chair Charles Lavine, where he gained a deep understanding of state-level policymaking and constituent service.

Beyond campaign work, Jared serves as the Fund Coordinator for the Scott J. Beigel Memorial Fund, helping further its mission of providing camp scholarships to at-risk youth in honor of Scott’s legacy. He also contributes to his local community in a non-partisan role as an elected member of the Board of Education in the Plainview-Old Bethpage School District, where he promotes public education and responsible district growth.

As NYSYD’s former Jewish Caucus Chair, Jared was a vocal advocate against antisemitism and worked to amplify Jewish voices within the Democratic Party, fostering inclusion, representation, and solidarity across communities.

Now, as Treasurer of the New York State Young Democrats, Jared is proud to bring his technical expertise, commitment to service, and passion for progressive change to empower young Democratic leaders across the state. He is especially passionate about helping young candidates run smarter, more transparent campaigns—and believes that building organizational strength begins with good data, fiscal clarity, and inclusive leadership.

If you’re a young Democrat and think there’s any way I can support your work, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to help.
