Living and breathing state politics for the past seven years, Ellen guides clients through the policymaking process with a strong grasp on the dynamics at the Capitol. Her political acumen, message development and project management consistently position teams for success – particularly within education, tax and economic development policy, where she has won significant legislative victories for clients over the past three sessions.

Leveraging her deep relationships with state legislators and staff, Ellen manages diverse coalitions, guides tactical advocacy strategies and relays the latest political insights to clients. She also leads lobbying registration and campaign finance reporting on behalf of our team, ensuring all activity is compliant and reported in a timely, transparent and accurate manner.

Ellen joined Goff Public as a legislative coordinator and moved into a key lobbying role during the 2023 session. Before Goff Public, Ellen was a legislative assistant at the Minnesota House of Representatives. Through her current role and involvement in local campaigns, Ellen continues to forge strong relationships with up-and-coming political influencers.

Ellen is a lifelong Saint Paul resident. In her spare time, you can find her biking on one of the many Twin Cities trails, checking out local restaurants, or spending time with friends and family.
