Since 1984
A sparkling sherry highball built in stages — one pour for every cycle she has worked
She has been centrally involved in every presidential cycle since 1984, served as National Co-Chair of Women for Kerry, and advised the Obama, Clinton and Biden campaigns as a senior women's policy advisor.
Why this cocktail? Every presidential cycle since 1984, built one pour at a time.
The Story
Ten cycles is not a highlight reel, it is attendance: the women's vote strategy fought for and integrated, the leadership academy launched at both conventions, the voter protection program, the Fair Fight council. Built at the table in visible stages, because a campaign is never one grand gesture — it is one more pour, then one more, until the glass is full.
