Women in Office


“If we don’t get serious about putting women into the leadership pipeline, we (will raise) the aspirations of a generation of American girls without doing enough to actually make their ambitions achievable,” Marie Wilson, The White House Project.

This year we will have 17 women in the US Senate and at least 74 women in the House of Representatives. We have risen from 71st in the world for female representation to 69th. Isn’t America supposed to be more competitive?

It’s just not good enough. The world we create is the one that will be waiting for our daughters. No better and no worse. The one we create is the one the will inherit.

Was reading this and wondering…
I’ve had many occasions when people said I should run for this or that. The main reason I don’t is because of family.
How many moms out there have considered running for office (local, state or higher) and didn’t do it because of family?
