Jonathan Bernard Yoav Tasini (born October 18, 1956) is a strategist, organizer, activist, commentator and writer, primarily focusing his energies on the topics of work, labor and the economy.
On June 11, 2009, he announced that he would challenge New York U.S.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in the Democratic primary for the 2010 U.S.
Senate special election in New York.
However, Tasini later decided to run instead for a seat in the House of Representatives in 2010. He was the president of the National Writers Union from 1990 to 2003.
In 2006, he unsuccessfully challenged incumbent U.S.
Senator Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary, principally because of the incumbent's vote for the Iraq Resolution which gave then President George W.
Bush the authority to invade Iraq. He is currently president of the Economic Future Group, a national consulting group in the United States.
He also writes frequently for a labor and economy blog, Working Life.
