Stephannie Lane Baker has over two decades of experience in political advocacy and organizing work. Highlights of this work include studying the child health impact of estrogens in the Miami table water, fighting for smoke-free environments for restaurant workers, registering voters and serving as a patient advocate at Planned Parenthood, and advocating for safer gun laws with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. Her varied public health advocacy work eventually led her to political campaigns, as she realized that the best way to make progress is to help progressive leaders get a seat at the table.
Stephannie honed her political training with Vote Run Lead, Demand a Seat, the Arena Academy, EMILY’s List, and the inaugural Emerge Arkansas bootcamp training. She’s spent the last several years working in campaigns and volunteering for school board, city council, and state representative races. Most recently, she has directed campaign communications at both the federal and state level.
