As a college student, Amanda became active in politics when she organized students across Michigan to oppose the "Roger's Law" bill that disenfranchised college students.

Amanda was the 2006 Deputy Democratic Coordinated Campaign Director, coordinating the field effort and voter contact programs for Michigan Democrats including Governor Granholm and Senator Stabenow. Following the 2006 elections, she served as the Political and Training Director for the Granholm Leadership Fund, where she coordinated training programs on behalf of Governor Granholm and Lt. Governor Cherry, and did political outreach to further their agenda for Michigan.
