For more than two decades, Mindy has brought her smart strategic thinking and deep knowledge of every aspect of a campaign to candidates and causes who, with her help, beat even the toughest odds. Her undefeated record as a campaign manager includes overcoming opponents with huge financial and political advantages to help her candidates win. As the first woman to serve as the Executive Director, she led the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) in 2018, winning a historic special election in Alabama and picking up seats in Arizona and Nevada.

Senator Elizabeth Warren called Mindy “a smart tough, steady leader who knows how to fight and win.”
Mindy led Senator Warren’s first campaign (2012), one of the most hotly contested races in the country and the only Democratic defeat of a Republican Senate incumbent that year. She managed Senator Richard Blumenthal’s (D-CT) winning 2010 campaign against a then record-breaking $50 million spent by Linda McMahon, of World Wrestling Entertainment. In 2008, she helped deliver New Hampshire as State Director for the Obama campaign in the general election. And in 2006, she led Senator Sheldon Whitehouse’s defeat of popular Republican incumbent Lincoln Chafee, managing the race that helped Democrats take back control of the U.S. Senate.
