In 2008, Lisa became a Field Organizer for Obama For America. In 2015 Hillary Clinton requested a copy of ‘Me, The People’ during her Listening Tour. Pieces of the book were reflected in the ‘fourth fight’ in the Hillary for America campaign launch speech.  Lisa is currently a deputy voter registrar for Illinois, as well as a District Leader for No Labels www.NoLabels.org

Her background is geared to voter outreach:  Encouraging current non-voters to feel welcome and wanted in politics and their government.  Ms. Fontana explains her motivation for writing the guide, “I didn’t write it to make money. I wrote it to share what I learned with anyone who might be trying to figure it out too.”
