Maddy Hirshfield has been active in the LGBT community for more than 20 years. She was elected to the Sonoma County Democratic Central Committee in 1996 and continued her service for almost eight years, five of them as chair. Since 2002, Hirshfield has served as the Senior Field Representative to California Assembly Member, Patty Berg.
In Sonoma County, Hirshfield was heavily involved in the effort to adopt Sonoma County’s first Gay Pride Resolution. Alongside other community leaders, she worked for six years to convince the Board of Supervisors to pass the resolution. Hirshfield served as the political advisor and media representative for Sonoma County Project 10 in the early 90s, which helped young people struggling with sexual orientation in school systems. In 2000, she chaired the committee to defeat Proposition 22, the anti-marriage equality bill in California.
In her work capacity for Assemblymember Berg, she serves as her primary speechwriter and prepared her floor statements when she spoke in favor of Assemblyman Mark Leno's Marriage Equality bills. Hirshfield brings with her unique experiences as someone that has been entrenched in state government, as well as local politics through her work as an advocate for progressive politics. She has already received numerous endorsements from local and state leaders, including openly LGBT State Senator Sheila Kuehl.
