Bridget leads Weedmaps’ policy work, partnering with medical cannabis and veterans’ groups, legislators, and community groups to ensure safe, legal access to cannabis. Bridget’s passion for advocacy stems from a long history in the non-profit sector – working directly with incarcerated individuals and seeing how minority communities were disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs. After 15 years working in government relations and public policy, Bridget joined the cannabis industry with the goal of affecting and guiding equitable and inclusive legislation for decriminalized cannabis, ensuring diverse voices have a seat at the table. Prior to joining WMH, Bridget spent a majority of her career working in the transportation industry, working to increase investment in transportation.
