Finding the Data to Fuel Your Fight
My foray into political action was with Campaign for Liberty, working on the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act petition in 2009. I became involved with my local Republican Party, and was proud to run Ron Paul’s 2012 campaign for two counties in two different states; a caucus effort on the Washington side and a Get Out the Vote effort on the Oregon side. Following that amazing experience, I worked with my local Tea Party to start a teen club and host a week-long Constitution camp.
Passionate about dialogue across partisan lines, I organized a quarterly Transpartisan Alliance salon discussion group. I was invited to present talks to Tea Party and GOP groups in my region, and put on a small workshop to introduce my neighbors to important concepts for self-government. I did this all while homeschooling my three children, thus the gap in my paid employment, so I also naturally served as teacher liaison on our homeschool co-op board.
In 2014, my family traveled for several months in an RV across the country, eventually settling in Missouri. Eager for work, I dove in as the Ballot Access Director for the Libertarian Party of Illinois. In June 2018, I secured 48,000 signatures and won ballot access for six candidates with the help of over a hundred volunteers and a small contingency of paid contractors. I then had the honor of working for two State Representatives at the Missouri Capitol, where I handled scheduling, took meetings with lobbyists, served constituents, and assisted in bill research. I have also worked as a campaign manager, media outreach director, writer for a local magazine, for the Republican Party as a Regional Director and Deputy State Director, and have provided policy analysis for numerous statewide and municipal candidates as consultant.
As a traveler, I have become familiar with the laws and regulations of many states. Working freelance gives me the freedom to focus more time on being a Mom, while continuing to do what I love.
