Ron + Wendy on polling & the run for MTG's vacated seat
'Vote Mama' CEO/founder Liuba Grechen Shirley pulled up to the virtual 'kitchen table' for some frank talk about moms being under-represented in state & federal government and why it's important to address that.
Caroline and Debra welcome Liuba Grechen Shirley, the Founder and CEO of Vote Mama Foundation and Vote Mama PAC, organizations dedicated to electing mothers to office and breaking down the barriers that keep them out of politics.
In 2018, she made history as the first candidate ever to receive FEC approval to use campaign funds for childcare—a victory that opened doors for thousands of candidates nationwide.
Liuba has been recognized as one of Long Island’s Most Powerful People and featured in The Washington Post, TIME Magazine, CNN, and MSNBC.
She joined the ATK ladies ‘at the kitchen table’ to discuss the SAVE Act and it’s disparate implications for women voters, how current guidelines to run for office disproportionately create obstacles for women and working moms, and how the US trails other first-world countries in representation of this key demographic.
