Host Marianne Schnall shares a collection of insights on "What would it mean for the U.S. to finally elect a woman president?” from her recent interviews with an esteemed group of thought leaders about Kamala Harris's historic run for President. They each share their perspectives on what the possible impact of finally breaking that glass ceiling would be (1:23), how it could open doors for women and girls (5:46), and also broaden our cultural perceptions of leadership across generations (13:12). They also elaborate on the potential global impact of a Harris Presidency (16:31), what it would mean for the U.S. to join the ranks of other nations who have women heads of state (17:44), and much more. With quotes from Ted Bunch, Glynda Carr, Jasmine Crockett, Anita Hill, Carol Jenkins, María Teresa Kumar, Barbara Lee, Kimberly Peeler-Allen, Nancy Pelosi, Ai-jen Poo, and Erin Vilardi.
Empowering Women in Politics
Women make up a slight majority of our population - but in general, make up nowhere near that percentage of our elected leaders. Vote Run Lead Action hopes to change that through training, support resources and more. I caught up with their Founder and CEO, Erin Vilardi as well as their Michigan Director, Christine Maul at the Renaissance Center during their Run/51 Summit over the weekend.

Run51 is the brainchild of Erin Vilardi. She created the platform to assist women in gaining more of a voice in shaping national policies. Run 51's mission is to support women political candidates as a collective, paving the way for them to gain a majority in each of the 50 state legislatures. As Erin explains in this week's Motivational Mondays, 51 percent of the US population is women. So, she feels they should hold 51 percent of government jobs, regardless of their backgrounds or demographics. With a historic number of women now in Congress, they have the ability to shape change more than any other time in history. Organizations like Run51 are poised to empower women by providing materials to help them create effective change campaigns and win more elections. In this episode you'll learn how to file for a legislative seat, what a legislature actually does, and how to find the districts in which you are eligible to run for office.

One of those colleagues is Erin Vilardi, the estimable founder and CEO of VoteRunLead, a non-partisan organization that promotes women's political participation and leadership and trains women to run for political office. It has had astounding success—astounding because VRL has proven over and over again that women−when trained, encouraged, mentored, and sufficiently well-funded−can win office just as frequently as men do. Since we are now in the run-up to the 2022 Congressional elections(!), and there are numerous races around the country in 2021, Rebecca asked Erin to join us to discuss what to look for in trends, types of candidates, and regarding the issues and messages that win for women candidates.

Only one woman, U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, remains in the Democratic race for president. But that picture doesn’t tell the whole story. Across the country, more women are running for office than ever before. The 2018 election was widely hailed as the Year of the Woman, as women ran for office and voted in record numbers – many of them Democrats galvanized by the election of President Trump. “This is so much larger than a political reaction,” says Stephanie Schriock, president of Emily’s List. “[It’s] a cultural change. So many women are saying, ‘I need to serve, I have something to offer, I can do this.’ That’s not gonna go away when Trump’s out of office.” On Flyover 2020, we took a closer look at this new wave of women entering politics. What motivates them to get in the ring, knowing they will face discrimination and attacks? Guests: Dianne Bystrom, director emerita of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University. Erin Vilardi, founder and CEO of Vote Run Lead.

As we go into the 2018 midterm election season, we’ve got a lot of unknowns to think about. What can we expect to change this time around? Will there be more political upsets, like we’ve seen during the Democratic primaries in New York with the ascendancy of first-timer Alexandria Ocasio Cortez? One thing’s for sure: this year, more women, especially women of color, are running for public office than have ever before. Today, I’ll talk to two people with unique insight into how this all happened and what we can look forward to in November. First, I talk to Erin Vilardi, the founder and CEO of VoteRunLead, an organization that trains women to run for office. Then I speak to Minnesota State Senator Patricia Torres Ray, who is seeking her party’s nomination for a Congressional seat in a few weeks, about why she’s running.
