Meet Brittany

I am a dedicated advocate for community service with roots in Richmond, Virginia. Growing up amidst the city's rich history, I developed a deep appreciation for how it shapes our country and my personal world. The Virginia House of Delegates, as the oldest legislative body, particularly captured my interest and fueled my passion for all aspects of history.

In high school, I chose to major in Political Science, and a pivotal moment came during my senior year when I interned for Jennifer McClellan (VA-4) while she was a delegate. This experience offered me a firsthand look into the legislative process. Despite a setback in a high school election, my AP Government teacher's encouragement paved the way for my future pursuits.

As I navigated my undergraduate and graduate studies, I discovered my strength lies in working behind the scenes in political campaigns. I’ve managed digital advertising campaigns for political candidates and advocacy organizations, achieving a remarkable track record of over 130 successful campaigns across 20 states. My expertise encompasses marketing, PR, advertising, political advertising, operations, and people management.

With over five years of industry experience in digital public relations, marketing, and advertising related to political candidates and advocacy groups, I hold a Certificate in Customer Experience from the University of Richmond, a Master's in Professional Studies in Political Management from George Washington University, and a B.A. in Political Science from Guilford College. I am committed to making a positive impact through strategic and effective public relations management.

As the Communications Director for Prince George’s County Council Member At-Large Calvin S. Hawkins II, I have developed his online presence and overall communications strategy in Prince George’s County. Additionally, I serve as a Communications Consultant for the Democratic Party in Tarrant County, Texas, one of the battleground counties poised to influence the political landscape in Texas, and the United States. In this role, I leverage Texas's voting demographics to apply strategic communications and targeted advertising aimed at increasing voter turnout. Despite ideological differences between Democrats and the majority of Texans, a common theme of family security resonates with voters, making them more receptive to centrist Democratic candidates.
