Draft:Juan Pablo Jaramillo - Wikipedia
| Submission declined on 23 May 2024 by Samoht27 (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: This article reads like an advertisement of the work of a relatively insignificant politician in charge of a medium-sized city. -Samoht27 (talk) 16:41, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Early life and Education

Since then he has been working in the labor and environmental movements. In late 2019 and early 2020, Jaramillo helped organize some 400 workers in Connecticut as a political organizer for SEIU Local 32BJ.
In 2021 Juan Pablo ran for the open seat left by then-speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, Bob DeLeo, for whom he interned in college. After finishing a close second Juan Pablo Jaramillo helped run the City of Lawrence, Massachusetts as its interim Chief Administrative Officer and then ran a the largest successful independent expenditure PAC in the 2022 gubernatorial election on behalf of the Environmental League of Massachusetts Action PAC in an effort to elect climate champions up and down the ballot, from state representatives to the governor.
Juan Pablo Jaramillo is back in the labor movement where he fights to pass pro-worker legislation on behalf of the members of SEIU Local 509 at the municipal, state, and federal levels.
