Liuba is the founder and CEO of Vote Mama, an interconnected trio of organizations dedicated to electing moms, transforming the political system, and advancing family-friendly policies. These organizations include Vote Mama PAC, the nation’s first Political Action Committee focused on electing Democratic moms up and down the ballot; Vote Mama Foundation, the leading source of research and analysis on the political participation of mothers in the United States; and Vote Mama Lobby, which works to empower moms in office, on the campaign trail, and as citizens.

In 2018, Liuba ran for Congress in New York’s 2nd District as a first-time candidate and a mom with a three-year-old and a one-year-old. She achieved the highest vote share of any Democrat against the 25-year incumbent and raised over $2 million without corporate PAC money. During that campaign, Liuba made history as the first woman to receive federal approval to spend campaign funds on childcare—progress that Vote Mama continues to build on.

Before jumping into electoral politics, Liuba worked in international development, with a focus on women’s economic empowerment. She has an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business and a BA in Politics and Russian from NYU. She has been recognized as one of Long Island’s 100 Most Powerful People and featured in major media outlets like CNN, The Today Show, and TIME Magazine. Liuba lives on Long Island with her husband and three children.
