Education: B.A. in Political Science, Columbia College

Policy Experience & Interests: While at Columbia, Solomon majored in political science and chose a primary subfield of American politics and a secondary subfield of political theory. The summer after his freshman year, he worked as an intern in Senator Marco Rubio’s office. After sophomore year, Solomon worked at a think tank called The Manhattan Institute on a variety of matters in health policy. Following his junior year, Solomon worked at a company called Referwell, which provides a number of services for doctors and which was co-founded by a Mount Sinai physician. Inspired by a recent struggle to pass a drug for muscular dystrophy through the FDA, a disease from which his cousin suffers, Solomon wrote his senior honors thesis in political science on flexibility in FDA drug approvals and would like to keep doing more work on the subject. Though he has focused on the FDA, he intends to explore other aspects of health policy.
