Biography

Jason Taper is a senior Plan II Honors and government major at The University of Texas at Austin. He is passionate about criminal justice reform, especially ending mass incarceration, and seeks to devote his professional life to this advocacy. He has been involved in political campaigns since high school, and somehow enjoys the work of knocking on doors in the Texas heat. When not on a soapbox, Taper enjoys being active in the Jewish community, hiking, and complaining about Texas football.
