Debra Shigley is an attorney, author, and advocate whose career spans law, journalism, and social impact. A graduate of Harvard College and the Georgia State University College of Law, she first gained national recognition as the author of The Go-Getter Girl’s Guide (St. Martin’s Press), a modern career manual for ambitious young women praised by Essence, The Washington Post, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She has cultivated a robust digital presence where her candid commentary on motherhood, ambition, and identity reaches an engaged audience.
In 2025, Debra ran for Georgia State Senate in a nationally recognized special election that drew coverage from The Washington Post, The Associated Press, and The Independent. Her campaign generated a 10-point Democratic swing in the district through authentic, community-centered engagement. Through her unique blend of storytelling, legal insight, and digital influence, Debra connects with a broad and intergenerational community of women redefining success and leadership. She lives in Alpharetta with her husband and five children.
Caroline Welles is the founder and executive director of The First Ask, a national political organization dedicated to electing first-time Democratic women to state legislatures. Since its 2023 inception, The First Ask has become a recognized force in down-ballot politics, supporting candidates across seven states with a 100% win rate in 2024 and 2025. Under Caroline’s leadership, the organization raised over $600,000 in grassroots contributions in its first year — with an average donation of just over $20 — establishing a new model for early-stage political investment in women candidates. Prior to founding The First Ask, Caroline served as a Presidential Appointee during the Biden Administration and spent seven years at the Democratic National Committee, where she observed firsthand the systemic barriers that keep women out of political leadership.
Caroline’s work sits at the intersection of gender equity, democratic participation, and political mentorship. She has served as a guest speaker and mentor for institutions including Georgetown University, American University, Howard University, and the University of Edinburgh, and has written for the Philadelphia Enquirer and Gender on the Ballot. She lives in Washington, DC with her husband and son.

Face the Nation
Sunday at 1pm
Face the Nation is a weekly news and morning public affairs program airing Sundays on CBS that has been one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television since its creation by Frank Stanton in 1954. The program features compelling interviews with newsmakers, thoughtful roundtable discussions, and sharp analysis on the top issues of the day, with moderator Margaret Brennan coming face to face with the most influential policymakers, politicians, newsmakers, and experts to dig deep into politics, current events, and the latest headlines. Margaret Brennan became moderator in February 2018 and quickly became known for her tough but fair questioning of world leaders, politicians, and policymakers, bringing to her coverage of domestic politics a background in national security and financial news. As the second woman to host the venerable CBS News broadcast, Brennan has continued Face the Nation's legacy as America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program and helped propel it to become the most watched in its category for five consecutive years, beginning with the 2021-2022 television season.
