Jessica N. Grounds has devoted her life to empowering women to become political leaders. Most recently she served as the Director of Women Ready for Hillary, the grassroots organization that built early support for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run. Before Ready for Hillary, she was the Executive Director of Running Start, a non-profit that she co-founded which inspires girls and young women to run for elected office. She currently serves as the organization’s Co-Chair of the Board of Directors. Jessica is also the founder and principal strategist for Solid Grounds Strategy, a firm that consults women candidates and helps campaigns better reach women voters.
