She knew that running for Congress in a very conservative district was an uphill battle, but Jill Schiller also knew that it was a battle worth fighting. In this episode of the You Should Run podcast, Jill Schiller talks about why she ran for Congress in Ohio even though it was a very difficult race for a Democrat to win. We discuss her experience working for the Obama Administration and how that contrasts with current politics, her motivations, and how running for office on values and issues helps to prepare voters for future progressive campaigns and candidates.   Progressives can't win if they don't take up the challenge and run. Listen, share, subscribe and consider running for office today.

Like most people in Ohio, I grew up in a home that valued education and hard work. My dad is a retired water worker and proud union member. My mom was an office manager. When I was 7, my mom was diagnosed with Lupus – a disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Without dad’s union benefits and healthcare, my family would have been forced into bankruptcy due to the cost of her treatment. I truly understand the importance of quality, affordable healthcare and the physical, financial, and emotional toll of being a caregiver.
