Stacy Renae Lynch

“I woke up to the smell of pancakes, scrambled eggs, grits, and sausage. It was 8 AM in the morning. My uncle must be in town, I thought. My uncle would stop by occasionally to talk politics with dad, make a home cooked meal, and setup his campaign office. I reached the bottom of the stairs still in my PJs. There is Uncle Jesse - civil rights leader, Presidential candidate and dear family friend.”

As Deputy Director at the Mayor’s Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, Stacy manages external government agencies and key community stakeholders like the NAACP, the New York Urban League, the Asian American Federation, the Black Institute, the National Action Network and Rainbow Push.

A lesson Stacy learned  from her father Bill Lynch Jr. is that good policy is good politics. Bill, a major political player in New York City and National politics, became known as a coalition builder adept at bringing African-Americans into the political process. Often called the Rumpled Genius, Bill managed campaigns for David Dinkins, Hillary Clinton and Nelson Mandela.

Like her father, Stacy has developed genuine relationships in many different industries- from law, politics, corporate America and government. Stacy will be running for public office in 2021.
