Britton Mikkelsen joined TakeAction as an Organizer in January 2018. She is originally from Lincoln, Nebraska and moved to St Cloud for school where she attended St Cloud State University in the fall of 2014. She is currently studying Political Science with a minor in International Relations. While in St Cloud Britton worked for the DFL and helped local and state candidates in their elections. She then moved to chair the SCSU College Democrats where she worked towards creating a more extensive political culture centered around education and outreach. She now is the Legislative Affairs Chair for Student Government at SCSU and spends her time advocating for student voices in politics as well as working to create more conversations around class, race, gender, and community. Being a queer woman who’s active in the DFL and local organizations has helped her create a passion for those often left out of the conversation when it comes to power and politics.

As an organizer with TakeAction Minnesota, Britton hopes to expand the community around political engagement and work on celebrating political education in the St Cloud area.
