Career and Education

Lieberman, a native of Arizona, graduated from Yale University in 1994. He subsequently taught low-income preschoolers, as well as founding his own non-profit known as Jumpstart.[1] Jumpstart is a national nonprofit with the vision to ensure that all children enter kindergarten prepared to succeed. To date, more than 50,000 college students have served as Jumpstart Corps members, earning over $200 million in college scholarships through AmeriCorps while working with more than 100,000 children. [2] His second venture is Acelero Learning, a company focused on closing the achievement gap for Head Start children and families. Acelero Learning currently impacts over 40,000 young children every day, and kids enrolled in its programs make gains at nearly three times the national average.[3] Together, Jumpstart and Acelero have helped nearly 1 million young children get better prepared for school.

Lieberman defeated incumbent Republican State Representative Maria Syms in Arizona's 28th legislative district in the November 2018 general election.[4]
