She also previously served as a volunteer coordinator for the Wisconsin Assembly Democratic Campaign Committee, organizing hundreds of volunteers across central Wisconsin.
Sam graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she majored in political science and minored in public policy and criminal justice. Her research has been published in a student journal where she highlighted the need to reduce recidivism rates.
