In that role, she has been working with precinct leaders, area coordinators, Democrats across the County and the Maryland Democratic Party to organize various Get Out The Vote activities; helped develop the strategic plan for the 2020 and 2022 election, worked with colleagues to organize and mobilize over 400 volunteers for the poll watching program to have a strong Democratic presence at the polling sites and for voter protection.
Shruti serves on the D18 Democratic Caucus board as the Chair Emeritus after completing two-year terms each as Chair and Vice Chair of the Caucus during which time she organized forums and events to engage D18 Democrats on various issues, and mobilized Democrats from our diverse community for various GOTV activities. In the summer of 2018 and 2021, Shruti organized and participated in the summer listening tour for the Montgomery County Democratic Party, to connect with residents and learn about the issues that are important to our community.

While Shruti is not in a contested race, it is important to her that she connects with the Democrats in Dist. 18 and Montgomery County so she can work with everyone.
