He managed the political campaigns of state representative Christopher Rosario and city councillor Maria Viggiano.

Felipe defeated Republican Party candidate Joshua Parrow, and three Democratic Party candidates, among them former state legislators Héctor A. Díaz and Christina Ayala, as well as Kate Rivera. Felipe was the youngest candidate in the special election, and drew criticism for having to move back to Bridgeport to contest the election, as he and his family had relocated to Stratford one year prior.

Voterly uses special interest group ratings to determine a politician's stance on a political or social issue. Special interest groups release ratings of politicians to convey whether that politician is in favor of their cause. For example, a politician who actively supports gun rights will receive a high rating from a pro-gun interest group. That same politician would be rated low by a gun control interest group. This collection of ratings informs where we place a politician on the spectrum of the issue.
