Mary Creasman (she/they) is the Chief Executive Officer of California Environmental Voters (EnviroVoters) and California Environmental Voters Education Fund. Under her leadership, EnviroVoters has more than tripled in size, launched three new local PACs, expanded organizing efforts in battleground regions across the state, and beaten Big Oil in head-to-head races 70% of the time to elect climate champions.
Spearheading the rebrand from California League of Conservation Voters to EnviroVoters, Mary focused the organizations toward climate justice, power-building, leadership accountability, and creating the global roadmap for policy action. Leading unprecedented marketing campaigns to hold elected leaders accountable, EnviroVoters catalyzed the most significant year of climate action in California history in 2022.
Throughout her tenure the organization has made groundbreaking progress: protecting democracy in 2020 through expanding mail ballots to every eligible voter, securing a $54 billion climate investment in the 2022 state budget, and passing landmark environmental, legislative and regulatory policies including 2023’s biggest climate victory in the nation – passage of the Corporate Climate Accountability Act.
Prior to EnviroVoters, Mary served as the California Director of Government Affairs for The Trust for Public Land where she led the successful Proposition 68 campaign, passed the largest parks tax measure in the nation in Los Angeles County, and created a first-ever government funded and run urban greening program.
As Chief Strategy Officer at Green For All, Mary worked on Cap & Trade policy during the Obama Administration, launched youth organizing programs in partnership with Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and developed public education campaigns with talent including Kendrick Lamar, Common, Drake, the Black Eyed Peas, and more.
Mary began her career as a union organizer and then Political & Organizing Director of the AFL-CIO Labor Council and Democratic Party in Silicon Valley, winning dozens of electoral campaigns and national landmark policies related to affordable housing, big box retail, living wages, and government contracting.
In her role as Associate Director at the Partnership for Children & Youth, and as an independent consultant, Mary has advised groups across the country on organizational development, effectiveness, and culture. She has been widely featured in media including in the Los Angeles Times, The Hill, Politico, the Sacramento Bee, and San Francisco Chronicle.
