Michelle has served as campaign manager, senior advisor, finance director, and political organizer on campaigns of all levels of government - city council, state senate, mayoral, congressional, statewide - in Minnesota, Kansas, and Washington State. Prior to joining Run for Something, she served as District Director for Congresswoman Lauren Underwood in IL-14. Some of the most gratifying and exciting work she’s done has been supporting first (or second or third) time BIPOC, women, and millennial candidates as they build their campaign infrastructure and navigate the incredibly exciting, but critical, first weeks and months of their run for public office. Ask her about her therapy dog and occasional foster dogs!
