The final Presidential debate has taken place and one might say it’s all over but the crying, for the loser that is, but before we get to November 3rd there is still a lot of campaigning to take place. We will continue to be bombarded with TV ads, opening our mailboxes to find stacks of campaign literature and opening our front door to campaign lit hanging on our door knobs despite the fact that over one third of the voter population from 2016 has already cast a ballot. On this episode I am joined by political strategist Sonia Van Meter. Sonia is the Managing Partner of Stanford Campaigns, a Democratic Opposition Research firm in Austin TX. she joined Stanford Campaigns in 2009 and quickly found her professional home. Now in her tenth year in the political consulting industry, Sonia has worked hundreds of campaigns all over the country, including city council, gubernatorial and US Senate races. In 2013 Sonia became a Partner of Stanford Campaigns where she continues bringing the good word of opposition research to democratic campaigns and causes up and down the ballot nationwide. Sonia graduated cum laude from Georgia State University with a B.A. in Sociology. When she’s not digging up dirt on politicians, you can find her enjoying a bourbon, playing bass with her band, or marveling at her husband’s latest pun.
