For the past decade, Maria has led the marketing, training, sponsorship and digital projects at companies like Google, on campaigns, in the United States Senate and most recently at the 2024 Republican National Convention.

Being a digital practitioner herself, Maria is passionate about the digital ecosystem and how to bring best practices to the political landscape.

Throughout her experiences, there has been a lack of resources, training and overall support for digital talent in the political ecosystem, particularly right of center. Maria found that it was time to coalesce a group of campaigns, candidate, elected officials and their staff who believe in the new frontier online.

Maria’s aim in founding RightClick is to help foster digital understanding at the highest levels of leadership while also giving practitioners the tools and support that is necessary for a thriving digital operation. Whether it’s on Capitol Hill, Campaigns or other groups RightClick aims to be a way to bring new ideas to the forefront.
