A life in public service

Strengthening the connection between government and the people it serves.

Jaden G. Persaud is an American elected official, political advisor, and award-winning philanthropist dedicated to strengthening public institutions, advancing thoughtful policymaking, and improving the relationship between government and the communities it serves.

Persaud serves as the elected Judge of Elections in Richland Township, Pennsylvania. In that role, he oversees precinct operations, supports election accessibility, and works to ensure that the electoral process is administered with integrity, efficiency, and respect for every voter.

His work spans government affairs, legislative strategy, healthcare advocacy, political communications, and public engagement. Across government, campaigns, and advocacy organizations, Persaud has supported policy initiatives, advised on public-facing strategy, and contributed to constituent-focused solutions addressing complex community challenges.

“Public leadership should be informed, accountable, and capable of producing real results.”

Advocacy shaped by lived experience

Persaud’s commitment to healthcare advocacy began at age 10, after his mother was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. That experience became the foundation for years of work supporting patients, caregivers, and families navigating serious illness.

Today, he serves as an Ambassador for Blood Cancer United, formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. His advocacy focuses on expanding access to care, strengthening patient protections, and ensuring that the experiences of patients and families are represented in federal healthcare policy.

His public-service philosophy is rooted in the belief that institutions work best when they are accessible, responsive, and willing to listen. Through OJGP, Persaud brings together political advisory, advocacy, and civic leadership under one disciplined platform for public impact.
