Pronouns: she/her
Josie is an Associate at Arc North Star, where she develops digital strategy and designs creative graphics and video content for electoral campaigns, advocacy groups, and progressive movement organizations.
Josie’s digital design and storytelling skills have been sharpened on the Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison reelection campaign, where she leads digital strategy and produces content that amplifies his work defending consumers, protecting democracy, and standing with communities too often pushed to the margins. She leads digital content for a statewide coalition dedicated to strengthening multiracial democracy in Minnesota, creating content that educates people about how elections work and helps build lasting community power.
Before Arc Initiatives, Josie served as a digital content coordinator on the Tim Walz and Peggy Flanagan 2022 gubernatorial campaign, where she drafted social media content, captured photos and video at events, and helped develop creative concepts. Before entering politics, Josie worked in the insurance industry, an experience that became a major catalyst for her shift to political work.
Josie is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin River Falls, where she double majored in Marketing Communications and Communications. She loves to paint and taps into her imaginative side by painting portraits of the Muppets.
