Joy Kummer
Joy is a founding partner of TeamCivX, and brings over 25 years of political, legal and community service experience to each of her clients and causes. Over the past several years, Joy has been successful in helping public agencies in all regions of California develop local public finance measures for the ballot and achieve voter support—raising billions of dollars for counties, cities, schools, hospitals, community college, special districts and other much-needed community projects.
Part of Joy’s success is in the relationships she builds with her clients, focusing in on their specific needs and working together to build a communication and community plan that allows them to reach their goals. She is known for her can-do attitude, friendly smile and willingness to listen and collaborate as a team to find the right solution.
Joy grew up in Montana, where she received her J.D. from the University of Montana School of Law and a B.A. in Communications from Montana State University–Billings. Prior to co-founding TeamCivX, Joy was a partner at her prior consulting firm, served as Regional Field Director for U.S. Senator Max Baucus (D-MT), and as Field Director for the successful 49ers Stadium Campaign in Santa Clara, CA.
Joy and her husband Todd live in Oakland where they enjoy spending time with their grandkids, and cheering on the Cal Bears and Golden State Warriors. Joy is a proud mother and grandmother, occasional yoga instructor, slow and steady distance runner, roller coaster enthusiast, and gluten-free baker.
