Emily’s (she/her) first exposure to civic engagement began at age 6, when she “helped” her parents gather petition signatures by catching frogs in the nearby pond. Since then, she’s been passionate about finding the stories that bring people together to take action for progress, helping candidates and organizations run effective, purposeful campaigns from the local to the national level. Using thoughtful, research-driven strategy, she’s worked to help a wide range of diverse candidates across the country introduce themselves to voters, trained hundreds of staffers, and built bridges between organizations large and small to make change happen.
