Bio

Nomiki Konst is the director of Matriarch, a national organization focused on supporting progressive, working class women running for office. She also hosts "The Nomiki Show," a show aimed at breaking down and exposing the infrastructure, tactics and money of the corporate political establishment. Previously, she was an investigative reporter for The Young Turks, covering local to international movements, money in politics, and disaster capitalism. In 2016 she hosted a daily three-hour show on SiriusXM Progress, was a daily contributor to CNN and Fox News, as well as a political analyst for CBS News.

Konst was a National Surrogate for Bernie Sanders for President in 2016, later serving on the DNC Platform Committee, as a convention delegate and as one of the 8 Sanders appointees to the DNC's Unity Reform Commission, which was tasked to reform the Democratic Party and its Presidential nominating process. In 2019, Konst ran a spirited grassroots campaign for NYC Public Advocate, hoping to re-focus the office on its essential watchdog duties. Konst took on the political establishment and big real estate interests as the campaign organized hundreds of volunteers and received thousands of small dollar contributions. While being threatened by powerful interests, the Konst campaign was the only campaign that did not take money from real estate developers, receive institutional support or loan itself money yet qualified for all of the establishment protecting benchmarks.
