Megan Eisenstein

Megan Eisenstein is a junior majoring in Government and minoring in Dance and Data Science. She was elected to the LU Dems board in March 2023 and was recently re-elected Social Chair. After the summer of 2022, when Roe v. Wade was overturned and the devastating shooting in Highland Park occurred only 30 minutes away from her, Megan searched for a way to help people in a way she wanted. And that's when she found the Lawrence Democrats. She fostered her passion for political activism during her first term at Lawrence, during which Tony Evers won re-election as Governor of Wisconsin. Since then, she's canvassed, led phonebanks, and traveled to Madison for the College Democrats of Wisconsin Convention in April 2023 and 2024.

No moment filled her with pride as much as when Janet Protasiewicz won in a "Janslide" in spring 2023 against a conservative opponent for a seat on the Wisconsin State Court, flipping the court liberal for the first time in years. She's ready to see another blue wave this November!

Megan works as a Field Organizing Intern for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and has collaborated in numerous engagement efforts across the area to inform voters, trained volunteers, and conversed with community members about what's at stake in this election.

She's thrilled to continue working with the Lawrence Democrats and serve as the group's Social Chair, igniting change and having fun while doing it! If she's not working with Democrats, you can find her singing, spending time in nature, and meditating.
