Sue Alksnis

Canada Membership Secretary | DPCA Voting Member | Progressive Caucus


I believe our most important work is getting out the vote for Democratic candidates and reforming electoral politics to safeguard voting right and get big money out of politics (including reforms in the Democratic Party).

I believe strengthening democracy in America is critical to achieving full economic, environmental, and social justice.  This includes universal healthcare (Medicare4All), lower/free college tuition, the Green New Deal, and increased banking regulation. 

As a professional fundraiser, I have experience in communications, media relations, direct marketing, volunteer management, gift solicitation, strategic planning, organizational development, and events. I am comfortable on TV and radio.

With training in diversity, inclusion, conflict resolution, management, anti-racism and anti-oppression, I was a strategist, spokesperson and canvasser in a highly contentious local community advocacy effort for an underserved and socio-economically diverse neighborhood.

I vote in Connecticut, my three young adult children vote in CT, CA and WI.  I grew up on Long Island, NY and in rural Massachusetts. I also serve on the board of my local neighborhood residents association.

As founding co-chair and current Vice Chair of the Global Progressive Caucus, I have attended several DNC meetings on behalf of the Caucus ("ProDA"), and have served on the boards of both DA Toronto and DA Canada, where I currently serve as Membership Sec
