Progressive Profile
| Bio | Progressive Democratic voter contact consultant and social entrepreneur. My work focuses on strategy and communications for Democratic candidates, parties, advocacy campaigns, ballot measures, and nonprofit organizations. Specializing in print, direct mail, and digital voter communications.
I have worked in the Democratic and Progressive movement in the US for over thirty years – and worked internationally in Democracy & Governance for more than twenty. I’ve served as a staff, consultant, and leader inside the Democratic party, top progressive advocacy organizations, and hundreds of candidate and ballot measure campaigns.
I founded three unique organizations with the word GAIN in it – this platform GAIN POWER, our predecessor Democratic GAIN, and Global GAIN, nonprofit connecting women in politics with women in the world interested in running for office or having an impact in advocacy. Even I confuse the names sometimes.

| Impact | I’ve worked for decades fighting for progressive issues: women’s rights, the environment, promoting democracy, advancing voting rights, promoting union jobs, pass health care reform, LGBTQ+ rights, and more.
I’ve been on teams and helping to elect strong progressive current leaders like Senator Elizabeth Warren, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, Governor Jared Polis.
The things I’m most proud of are training thousands of activists and campaign workers and helping many more find meaningful work in progressive politics. I love democracy-building internationally as much as I do domestically and have worked with political leaders and activists in over twenty countries. |
| Mission | My passions include electing more women and helping progressive organizations and leaders have a greater impact.
I believe the answers to most of our political problems will be found when women hold a majority of offices and leadership positions in government decision-making roles – so my passions are training young women to be political leaders, teaching leaders to run for office, and helping to elect them.
We need to disrupt, demystify, diversify, and truly democratize our party and movements. This platform is a big part of how I want to do that. Too many decisions are made by too few people who care more about holding onto power than building for people and communities that need it. These two ideas frame all the work I do in the US and in the world. My mission is to go to bed every night knowing I’ve lived my values and worked to implement them that day. |
