Career
Hargreaves' experience comes primarily from advocacy work. She was vice president of Mercury Public Affairs for five years. From 2015 until joining the Steyer campaign in 2019, she worked for NextGen America in leadership roles: national advocacy director and national program vice president while the group was known as NextrGen Climate, and executive vice president and executive director of NextGen America. NextGen America was founded by Steyer in 2013 as NextGen Climate and was renamed in 2017 to NextGen America when the group broadened its focus beyond environmental issues. The group's stated focus after the rebranding was "prosperity, health care, immigration, and equality."[2]
