A champion for women, Symone D. Sanders is a seasoned political strategist and former CNN political commentator who currently serves as senior advisor for former Vice President Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.
In 2016, at the age of 25, Sanders became the youngest presidential press secretary on record while working on U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders then-presidential campaign. That same year, she was named to Rolling Stone Magazine’s list of 16 young Americans shaping the 2016 election. Now, Sanders serves as a senior advisor for former Vice President Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.
When she is not on the campaign trail, Sanders also serves as principal of the 360 Group LLC where she provides strategic communications guidance to organizations, businesses, individuals, campaigns and candidates and helps clients find sound solutions to tough political and social problems.
A communicator with a passion for juvenile justice, Sanders is the former chair of the Coalition of Juvenile Justice Emerging Leaders Committee and former member of the Federal Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice, where she worked to raise the profile of young voices in the fight for juvenile justice reform and bring millennial perspectives to policy conversations.
"Young folk in industries where oftentimes there's not a lot of people that look like them should strive to blaze trails."
