Beauregard was a conservative all his life, but realized that in Massachussetts he would be more successful working for Democratic campaigns. So he switched parties. At 16, he managed the political campaign for a city councilor. Soon after, he was asked to join the campaign of then Governor Deval Patrick. Former Governor and 1988 Democratic Presidential nominee Michael Dukakis also became his personal mentor, and eventually, he worked on Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president.
“I started to question what I was doing, what my motives were. They were not public service, but to advance my own career and my own goals. I came to the conclusion that I can’t do this for the rest of my life,” said Beauregard. Now, Beauregard is working at Starbucks and getting his master’s degree in management and leadership. |
