Adam Bonin Champions Democracy One Ballot at a Time

Adam Bonin’s voice, passion for politics, and Philadelphia sports devotion certainly will sound familiar to his Amherst classmates, but his post-college path has been anything but predictable. Adam takes us through his early certainty that law was his calling, the disillusionment he experienced practicing corporate law, and the path he carved into political law and election work. We hear how a career pivot allowed him to integrate his passion for politics with his legal skills, how he’s become the go-to expert in high-stakes election battles—and how his journey reflects a broader lesson in finding professional purpose. Highlights include: Adam's role in shaping election law and voter protection in Pennsylvania. How his Amherst experience—academically and socially—laid the groundwork for his intellectual agility and passion for public service. He's still a pop culture maven. From “The Simpsons” to wrestling, Adam’s enduring passions serve as both respite and connection points to his younger self. The Amherst classmates he wants me to interview next.
