She skillfully directs grassroots teams across all fifty states and is continuously meeting and training additional teams to further expand the network. Her work allows turnkey access for clients to deliver constituent responses to legislators at any point in any policy debate.

In that role, she ran campaigns for Fortune 500 companies and managed over 120 field operatives throughout 2009 alone. She advised clients on building and activating grassroots voices from employees to influential leaders. Prior to that, Lauren was at the Dewey Square Group, along with roles on the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign in Iowa, Nevada, and Washington. Lauren has additional campaign experiences in Ohio and with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). She has previous experience working for an educational nonprofit organization, the British Embassy Press Office, and conducting constituent work for Senator Maria Cantwell.
