Today, I’m so pleased to chat with Georgia about our shared goal of getting young women interested in politics and the importance of their voices being heard. Georgia reflects on how her experience growing up in a politically engaged household started her on her journey in the field of politics. We discuss how Georgia has worked toward increasing gender diversity on boards and commissions and what happens to the conversation when you add more diverse voices. We highlight the significance of women's voices in politics, the challenges faced by women in the field, and the importance of supporting and empowering women in leadership positions. We discuss our experiences in politics and the need to understand different perspectives and work across party lines. We highlight the dedication required in public service, the value of women's representation in politics, and the importance of organizations like the Women's Public Leadership Network and the Pocketbook Project in supporting women in politics. We also share how you can become more informed, engage in respectful political discussions, prioritize personal well-being, and encourage more women to participate in public service. “Women need to have perspective in public service, and we have such a different, unique perspective than what a man's perspective may be.” - Georgia Polemenakos This week on Political Contessa: Why young women need to become interested in politics and the importance of amplifying their voices How working for Governor Charlie Baker influenced Georgia’s political journey The impact of more gender diversity on boards and commissions The challenges faced by women going into politics The need for understanding different perspectives and working across party lines The tremendous value of women in public service How to become more informed about politics The importance of respectful political discussions How to prioritize your well-being How to encourage women in your life to participate in public service Resources Mentioned: Women’s Public Leadership Network Website The Pocketbook Project Website Connect with Georgia Polemenakos: Georgia Polemenakos on LinkedIn Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

On this week's episode of The Codcast, Jim Peyser, who served as secretary of education under Gov. Charlie Baker, talks with executive editor Michael Jonas about the yearlong series of essays he wrote for CommonWealth Beacon on the need for civil discussion of often controversial issues in an era of polarized debate. Peyser says a healthy democracy depends on our ability to move past the current moment, where opponents are often characterized not as adversaries but enemies, and complex issues, which often involve difficult trade-offs and not just matters of right and wrong, are often reduced to strident – and simplistic – slogans. . . https://commonwealthbeacon.org/author/james-peyser/

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Brian Shortsleeve, a distinguished Marine Corps veteran, successful businessman, government reformer, and proud father of three boys. Brian’s career spans service in Bosnia and the Persian Gulf, a leading role in the finance sector, and a notable tenure as the General Manager and CEO of the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA). He also served under Governor Charlie Baker, where he earned a reputation for instituting fiscal discipline within Massachusetts state government. Brian is currently running for Governor of Massachusetts, committed to revitalizing economic growth and restoring common-sense leadership. Jennifer and Brian dive into the critical challenges facing Massachusetts under current one-party Democratic rule, highlighting the rapid escalation in state taxes, fees, and regulation. Brian shares controversial insights on Governor Maura Healey’s policies, including her handling of the state's $62 billion budget, the ever-increasing utility bills, burdensome business climate, and spending on migrant shelters. The conversation exposes the exodus of young people and businesses from Massachusetts, the shrinking private sector job market, and the lack of government accountability. Brian details his bold plans to cut taxes, streamline government spending, audit wasteful state programs, and restore fiscal health—all while emphasizing the importance of keeping families and economic opportunity in the state. This episode is a must-listen for those interested in the future trajectory of Massachusetts policy and politics. “Healey’s spending is completely out of control. In the last three weeks, she announced that she’s still spending over $3 million a day on the migrant shelter program.” ~ Brian Shortsleeve This week on Political Contessa: Massachusetts’ record $62 billion budget under Governor Healey The impact of rising taxes, fees, and utility costs on working families and seniors The migration of young people and businesses from Massachusetts to states with better economic climates How government waste and lack of auditing has led to outrageous contract spending The decline in private sector job growth and lost opportunity for middle class families Prioritization of spending on migrant shelters over local needs such as police, education, and public defenders Brian Shortsleeve’s systematic approach to government reform and fiscal discipline The urgent need for checks and balances and balanced leadership in Massachusetts Connect with Brian Shortsleeve: Brian Shortsleeve for Governor Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

There's a lot to be stressed about right now. We're seeing the dissolution of our democratic norms and ideals before our very eyes.But extremists don't want us thinking about democracy. They want us thinking about the 5 trans kids who wanted to play soccer this year.Just so far this year, over 900 anti-trans bills are under consideration across the country. The majority apply to kids, particularly in school. Some of the laws are frankly terrifying, like one in Florida that requires genital inspections for any kid suspected of being trans. Genital. Inspections. Of Kids.But even anti-trans organizations can't find more than five trans kids playing on girls' sports teams. And at the college level, NCAA president Charlie Baker said that there are fewer than 10 transgender athletes who currently compete in college sports. That's less than 0.002 percent!There's a lot of well-meaning concern for trans kids out there, but doctors are not giving children gender-affirming surgery. A Harvard study in 2019 found zero cases of gender surgery in kids under the age of 12. And for the small number of teenagers who were given surgery (2.1 per 100,000 teens), the vast majority are breast reductions for boys who aren't trans. 97% of gender-affirming surgeries on minors are for boys who were born as boys and identify as boys and just want a smaller chest so they can continue to feel like boys.Somehow that statistic rarely comes up when politicians are out there making speeches and passing bills against trans kids. By scaring people with fake information, politicians can drum up support while passing laws that actually harm Americans – not just trans kids, but all of us.If you're feeling burned out on bad news, or even burned out on empathy, we understand. But this Pride Month, we have to let trans kids know we're paying attention and we care.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.
