Blake later served as White House Associate Director of Public Engagement and Deputy Associate Director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. In, 2012 Blake was National Deputy Operation Vote Director for President Obama. Blake currently is serving in his second term in the New York State Assembly, representing the Bronx’s 79th District.
