"You’re telling me your plan is to drive downtown everyday – on the expressway I helped build – to work for a Democrat?!" 

One good thing came out of confessing her political affiliation to her father: She’s no stranger to winning over the opposition. For two decades, Rachel has created award-winning spots that have helped Democrats win races at every level. She knows how to grab an audience’s attention while also staying true to a candidate’s story and values. 

She served previously as a partner and a lead creative writer at Left Hook and A|L Media. Rachel’s work has been recognized by the New York Times, MSNBC, and others for being, "powerful"; "striking"; and "standing out in a sea of advertisements." 

She has taken home more than a dozen Pollie and Reed awards, which honor the best in political advertising. Rachel is a graduate of Marquette University and earned her master's degree in Public Policy from the University of Chicago. Rachel and her husband Neil are the proud parents of two die-hard Cubs fans.
