Silvia Roggiani

At the last regional Democratic Party primaries I've been elected by the party constituencies to serve as the head of the party in Lombardy for a four years mandate.

My main tasks are:

• Assist our local administrations to deliver their electoral program and get the job done for their constituencies;
• Help everyone of the party's mayoral candidates in the 1502 cities and towns of the region to be elected mayor;
• Bolster the relationship with the National Democratic Party in Rome, be present for the constituencies whether or not they are party members, increase the party credibility and strength in the region, maintain an open dialog with the civil society;
• Fundraising for electoral campaigns.

As a member of the Italian Parliament, my main responsibilities are:

• Having a strong relationship with my constituencies and be physically present in my electoral college so that I can figure out people's problems and hopes and find the best ways to make them heard inside the Parliament.
• Studying, researching, emending and presenting drafts of laws myself and doing the same with bills presented by fellow legislators.

Specifically, I am a member of the Budget Committee and a component of the Italian Democratic Party leadership ("Ufficio di Presidenza") inside the Chamber of Deputies.

At the 2018 Milan Democratic Party I won the primaries and I was elected to serve as the head of the party in the Metropolitan City of Milan.

While in charge, we worked hard for the re-election of the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala. He was then elected mayor of Milan for a second mandate, with our local Democratic Party performing beyond any other party with 33% of the consensus.

My main tasks were:

• Assist our local administrations to deliver their electoral program and get the job done for their constituencies;
• Help everyone of the party's mayoral candidates in the 134 cities of the Metropolitan City to be elected mayor;
• Increase the local party credibility and strength maintaining an open dialog with the civil society;
• Fundraising for electoral campaigns.

The Italian Democratic Party leader and former Prime Minister, Enrico Letta, wanted me to put together old and new volunteers from all over the country and to organize them in the run-up to the Italian general elections, as I had done in the past when I was responsible for the organization of several electoral campaign in my city, Milan.

At the age of twenty I began working for Patrizia Toia, a longtime Italian politician, at the time member of the European Parliament (where she continues to serve to this day) and a former member of the Chamber of Deputies, the Senate, and two times Minister of the Italian Republic under the administrations of Italian Prime Ministers Massimo D'Alema and Giuliano Amato.

My job as her Chief Assistant consisted in:

• Managing of the MEP's office activity in Milan and Brussels;
• Managing of the MEP's agenda, phone calls, incoming and outgoing mail;
• Studying and preparing all the dossiers related to the activity of the European Parliament specifically for the Industry, Research and Energy Committee;
• Drafting of amendments, notes in preparation for conferences, management of relations with public and private stakeholders and constituents.
• Being the MEP's Campaign Manager, with the responsibility to choose and coordinate the campaign workers and volunteers, managing at the same time the campaign communication, agenda and budget.

Exodus Onlus is an association and works with drug addicts, prisoners and people living in a fragile condition. I worked at the listening center in Gallarate (Varese) first and then at the main office in Milan, writing and reporting on European projects.
