Originally from Philadelphia, Jillian moved to Arizona in 2008 to study art at ASU where she feel in love with our beautiful desert landscape and never looked back. Jillian got her start in politics as a field organizer on Christine Marsh’s winning state senate race in 2020, then joined the ADLCC and AZ Dems where she oversaw party affairs, candidate recruitment and worked with battleground candidates in 2022 and 2024. When she isn’t canvassing or staffing candidate call time, you can find her hiking, swimming and spending time with her husband and family.
