User Profile for Duane Peterson (dpeterson)

Bio: Duane Peterson has worked for ten years with Ben&Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen building the Priorities Campaign whose mission is to cut government waste in the Pentagon and shift the savings to address unmet human needs. Priorities leverages the fiscal standing of its 700 business executives, the military authority of retired admirals and generals and the grassroots punch of our 600,000-member TrueMajority.org -- giving voice to the majority of Americans who want the federal budget to reflect our values. Preparing for this latest adventure, Duane has worked as an ambulance driver, firefighter and police officer; campaigner on 17 elections; senior official in the California Attorney General's Office and chief of staff to the California Senate Committee on Natural Resources and its chair Tom Hayden.
