Eva Posner
CEO and founder of Evinco Strategies. Ten years building progressive power, and a habit of pulling back the curtain on the political industrial complex whether or not the industry wants her to.
Insightful, direct, and funnier
than the subject deserves
Eva Posner is a sought-after podcast guest known for insightful, direct, and often very funny takes on Democratic politics, campaigns, and ideology. She pulls back the curtain on the political industrial complex and what it means for the future of democracy.
In 2026 she marks ten years of movement building with Evinco Strategies, leading a team with more than 110 combined years of political experience. The firm exists to support progressive causes and candidates and to change how that work gets done.
Beyond Evinco she gives free presentations and trainings to political operatives nationwide, and she champions local politics at national scale, having supported staff, candidates, and organizations across 17 states. She is a Political Partner at the Truman National Security Project.
In her own words
She founded Evinco at 27, breaking into a toxic, patriarchal industry run by people two to three times her age, and scaled it to 16 employees across 7 states. She built it to win and to keep making progress without churning and burning her team the way political hustle culture usually does.
Diverse representation
Over half of her clients have been women, half people of color, half under 45, and nearly a quarter LGBTQ+
Workers rights and unions
The firm contracts only with unionized printers and prioritizes unionized businesses wherever possible
Criminal justice reform
Systemic change in policing, prosecution, and incarceration
Reproductive justice
Bodily autonomy and healthcare access
Geography Deep roots in California, Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana, with experience across the country and up and down the ballot
Six topics, delivered with humor
and no filter
Why local politics matters most
Local government drives the change people actually feel. Why smart organizers should be looking at city councils and school boards instead of federal headlines.
Learning from losses
Unfiltered truths about where the movement has failed, what specifically went wrong, and what a path forward looks like.
The realities of running for office
Exhaustion, financial stress, family sacrifice, and a system built to exclude. What nobody tells first-time candidates before they file.
Fundraising and messaging
Tactics that work on a limited budget, how to engage donors without burning them, and how to build a message that actually lands with voters.
Honest critiques of both parties
Her signature candid analysis. Democratic shortcomings, Republican strategy, and what genuinely works versus what everyone pretends works.
Whether it is a podcast, a panel, or an interview, these tap into her decade of building progressive power and her unfiltered read on what is broken and what is still possible.
From journalism to consulting
How did an investigative journalism background shape her approach to campaigns, messaging, and figuring out what voters actually care about?
Starting Evinco
What made her launch a firm, and how do you build a business in an industry run on established players and old networks?
Work and life in politics
Practical strategies for keeping a political career without losing your personal life to it.
Building movements that last
What it takes for a movement to survive past a single candidate or a single cycle.
Training the next generation
How to teach campaign skills while also instilling ethics and work habits that do not destroy people.
Lessons from high-stakes races
What a first-time candidate on a modest budget can actually use from a million-dollar campaign.
Grassroots impact
The specific ways local organizing creates change that outlasts any individual election.
Barriers for diverse candidates
The structural obstacles that remain, and the systemic changes that would genuinely level the field.
