Lindsay Barnes brings a decade’s worth of experience building meaningful coalitions and winning political campaigns to her work at VMA. She specializes in developing strategic communication plans and creating strong community organizing programs for our clients in education and infrastructure development.

Prior to joining the firm, Lindsay built two multi-million-dollar congressional campaigns from the ground up. In 2022 she executed the largest media budget for a congressional challenger nationwide and connected with voters in six languages. Most recently, Lindsay worked with local school districts to place propositions and measures on the ballot and advocate for their passage. Lindsay’s extensive experience with strategic messaging and constituency analytics helps VMA Communications’ clients successfully connect with their communities to achieve their goals.

A proud California native, Lindsay headed east to receive her undergraduate education at Marymount Manhattan College. After cutting her teeth in New York City government affairs, Lindsay returned home to help elect Congressman Gil Cisneros and went on to plan and execute multi-channel digital and direct mail campaigns for a variety of public sector clients. When she is not championing quality education and infrastructure investments, you can find Lindsay experimenting with a new recipe or frequenting a used book shop.
