Our Team
Gabi Finlayson
Gabi Finlayson brings a wealth of experience from some of the most high-profile political battlegrounds in the country. Her career began with local and congressional campaigns in Utah before joining Pete Buttigieg’s 2020 presidential campaign in Iowa, then Colorado. She later served as New Hampshire Youth Organizing Director for President Biden’s 2020 General Election campaign, where she led efforts that increased statewide youth voter turnout by 18% and boosted Democratic support among young voters by 13%.
Following the Biden campaign, Gabi stayed in New England, managing two pivotal campaigns in Boston: a mayoral race and a state Senate special election that resulted in the election of the first Black woman to the Massachusetts State Senate. Her success led to her appointment as the youngest legislative Chief of Staff in modern Massachusetts history.
Gabi returned to Utah to give candidates, causes, and elected officials the elevated management and guidance they deserve.
