Melanie Jonaitis

Deputy Finance Director

I was born and raised in New Jersey, where I attended college at Rutgers University and got my degree in political science. Before joining the DFL, I was an intern for the DNC and then worked on NJ Governor Phil Murphey’s re-election campaign. After graduating, I went on to work for the New Jersey Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee as their Finance & Operations Director.

I moved to Minnesota in 2022 with my partner and our kitty named Blossom and have grown to love the snow, cheese curds, and the State Fair. Fun Fact is I am a huge Prince fan so since moving here I have toured Prince’s Paisley Park home several times.
