Anne Johnson is a Senior Fundraiser for the National Education Association in Washington, DC. Anne served as the first director of Campus Camp Wellstone and also helped organize Wellstone Action's national members around progressive issues.
Anne graduated from the University of Minnesota with degrees in political science and international relations, and soon after began working in the field of international human rights. In 2001 she received the Upper Midwest Human Rights Fellowship through the University of Minnesota Law School to work at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
Like so many former Minnesotans, Anne became involved in political organizing by volunteering for Paul Wellstone's 2002 senate campaign. Within a month on the campaign she went from volunteer to intern, quit her job, deferred law school, got a job on the campaign and became a political junky. A fired-up field organizer, Anne came to Wellstone Action in 2003 and worked at the organization until 2007.
