A veteran of dozens of Colorado campaigns, Meredith Phillips is one of the most effective staffers & consultants in the state. Her numerous wins include primaries, state legislative seats, municipal and county elections. She further has extensive experience working within the Colorado Democratic Party to bring more progressive candidates and causes to the forefront.
Meredith began her political involvement as a volunteer during her adolescence, and then later following her Master’s Degree. This led to her work on the Morgan Carroll and Hilary Clinton campaigns in 2016 where she developed her core organizing skills on the ground in Highlands Ranch. Shortly thereafter, she began work for both primary and municipal candidates for the first time, helping flip several Aurora City Council seats. In 2018, she helped Congressman Crow’s first win, by managing his paid canvass operation, while simultaneously advising the winners of the stunning sweep of Arapahoe County offices that same year.
In the following years, Meredith expanded the scope of her work to include finance and communications while continuing her work in municipal politics, assisting in victories by Candi CdeBaca & Juan Marcano. During the 2020 election, Meredith was instrumental in the emergency development of online assemblies - a process she would further refine two years later. Additionally, she directed both Arapahoe County’s field efforts and the subsequent ballot cure - the largest such operation in Colorado history.
Today, Meredith acts in a coordinating role for VOICE, leveraging her broad experience in support of the more specialized members of the VOICE team. Meredith’s strength lies in understanding the intersection of communications, political outreach, finance, and field work, and to apply those discrete elements holistically to best enable a win for her clients. She also serves as VOICE’s primary trainer & coach, using her experience in education and leadership to help candidates and organizations best handle the stresses of the political world.
Meredith is an Aurora resident, where she resides with her wife & child. Her passion for strategy and narrative extends into her personal life, where she enjoys strategy and roleplaying games of all kinds. She enjoys cooking, creative writing, and volunteering with LGBTQ+ organizations across the state.
