With over a decade of experience living and working in Loudoun County, Russet has dedicated her career to advocating for those in need.

Russet also worked as a CIA Officer, collaborating with individuals of diverse ideologies to protect American citizens and democracy. Russet's upbringing, with financial struggles and parents who were public school teachers, made her passionate about advocating for working families, affordable healthcare, fully-funded public schools, and the underrepresented.
