Matt Duco graduated from the University of Illinois where he was active with the College Democrats and then went on to work for the Democratic Party of Illinois for a number of years before deciding to pursue a career in law. While in law school at Northern Illinois University, he volunteered with the Obama 2008 campaign and Bill Foster’s first campaign for Congress as well as his re-election. Since graduating law school and moving into private practice, Matt has primarily worked as a volunteer on campaigns and political organization but his main focus has been on election protection. He also ran for office himself in 2016, narrowly losing his election for County Recorder. Matt has spent most of his life in Illinois and is now living in Brooklyn, New York.
