Repeating what I said in the AOC talk page;  Nom apparently doesn't google too well.  I'll point out, I never heard of this guy until I saw this thread.  First he was the technology director for Bernie Sanders' 2016 campaign.  It was the technological support that caused that campaign to start to take off, but he didn't get well publicized about it.  Second he was founder of Brand New Congress.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/payments-to-corporation-owned-by-ocasio-cortez-aide-come-under-scrutiny/2019/03/05/ae5045ee-3f61-11e9-9361-301ffb5bd5e6_story.html?utm_term=.28dd35b43b34  That is significant and much more of a notable achievement.  Prior to working for Ocasio-Cortez. after graduating Harvard, as a software developer, he worked at Apple, was a founding engineer that developed Stripe (company)|Stripe, and created Mockingbird (gomockingbird.com).https://www.crunchbase.com/person/saikat-chakrabarti#section-overview, https://www.influencewatch.org/person/saikat-chakrabarti/  You can see in the Washington Post article, this is coming from background around campaign finance issues https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/alexandria-ocasio-cortezs-office-sure-looks-swampy https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/ocasio-cortez-and-top-aide-should-be-investigated-for-possible-campaign-finance-violations pushed by the right, where his name comes up.  A developing story, I'll avoid characterizing the campaign finance stuff until I read up on it.  It sure looks like the dealings of Chakrabarti will be coming up more often.  His independent actions are being discussed, as are those of Paul Manafort|Manafort and Michael Cohen (lawyer)|Cohen, independent of the political figure who is the front person for the controversy.  Additionally, he is treated as the "brains behind Ocasio-Cortez."https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-political-scene/how-alexandria-ocasio-cortezs-allies-supplanted-the-obama-generation, he is getting interviewed as such.https://www.cnn.com/videos/media/2019/02/03/rs-alexandria-ocasio-cortezs-chief-of-staff-speaks-out.cnn, https://www.thequint.com/neon/social-buzz/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-saikat-chakrabarti-chief-of-staff  We have articles on powerful aides; Huma Abedin for example.  It would be wise of wikipedia to provide background on this name in the news.https://www.snopes.com/news/2019/03/07/aoc-chief-of-staff/  Yes, it is a  so then we have to watch that article to make sure it doesn't become a coatrack for garbage about him or other subjects
