The Erie County Democratic Party's statement announced Modak's appointment alongside Alana Mounce, who will hold the position of ballot access director for the Biden-Harris campaign. The team, which also includes Mounce, will oversee the strategic campaign efforts aimed at securing President Biden's presence on the ballot across all 57 states and territories. Additionally, they will lead the critical delegate selection process, as stated by the party release.

Building upon the foundation established during the 2020 campaign and through the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the ballot access team will leverage existing infrastructure, including volunteer and supporter networks.

His background also includes service as in-house counsel for a prominent national political organization and as a judicial law clerk in a California bankruptcy court.

"The stakes of this election could not be higher and Alana and Varoon will spearhead the process to ensure the Biden-Harris ticket is on the ballot in all 57 states and territories," said Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Biden-Harris 2024 Campaign Manager.

"Alana and Varoon are extraordinarily talented, hardworking, and experienced on this issue. Our campaign is stronger with their leadership," she added.
