Gordon will tackle the task of finding wasted cash in the financials of the nation. Education and labor are his specialties; he has written extensively on the impact of the "No Child Left Behind" (NCLB) bill, and has worked in the New York City Department of Education.
A prominent face behind the scenes of political races, with experience working on Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) and John Edwards' (D) presidential campaigns, Gordon has been an advocate for changing teacher-tenure rules in public schools, modifying NCLB and increasing efforts to fight crime.
