In 2002, at the age of 29, Alix got her start in SF politics with her appointment to the newly-created Elections Commission. As its Vice President and President in those first few years, Alix helped to turn the ailing department around. More recently, she served on the San Francisco Film Commission for four years.
In 2006, at the urging of friends in the environmental movement, Alix ran for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in District 8. To the surprise of many (including herself), she garnered almost 30% of the vote against a formidable and well-liked incumbent.
From 2010-2016, Alix served on the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee (DCCC), the governing body of the San Francisco Democratic Party, where she served as its Treasurer and Second Vice Chair. On the DCCC, her priority was getting more female candidates into the Democratic party pipeline, and she helped get dozens of women elected through volunteering, mentorship, and assembling slates of candidates.
A longtime Burning Man participant, Alix served on the Board of Directors of the Black Rock Arts Foundation, its nonprofit organization that promoted civic engagement by placing interactive public art projects around the world. Alix has been a lifelong advocate for women, having founded the San Francisco Women’s Political Summit, and having served as President of the National Women’s Political Caucus (SF chapter). She served as a trainer for Emerge California in its early years, and she continues to support candidates and causes around the Bay Area.
