Vote Mama founder and former congressional candidate, Liuba Gretchen Shirley, talks to Katie about the importance of supporting moms running for office.
Liuba tells the story of how Vote Mama, a PAC that supports Democratic moms with young children running for office, came to fruition. She also discusses her opinion of why people are against paid maternity leave and childcare, and why we should encourage mothers to run for higher-level political jobs.
Plus, are you a mother who is thinking about running for office? If not, know of another mother who is? Listen in for how Vote Mama can assist!
