Sonia Van Meter

Sonia Van Meter is the Managing Director of Stanford Campaigns.

Sonia is a cum laude graduate of Georgia State University where she earned her B.A. in Sociology and was a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society and Alpha Kappa Delta Sociology Honor Society. Sonia moved to Austin in 2003 to attend graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin but soon found she preferred activism to academia.

Following a glorious stint as a sales representative for a major liquor distributor, she joined Stanford Campaigns in March 2009 and quickly found a professional home. Sonia steered Stanford Campaigns through the Great Recession and put the company on firmer financial footing by instituting sound business practices, but what she enjoys most about running the company is knowing that Stanford Campaigns daily serves up healthy portions of Republican butt-kicking.

Sonia lives with her husband and two stepsons, serves as president of the Austin Girls’ Choir board of directors, and plays piano and bass guitar.
