Podcasts about women legislators

This week, the Ryans bring on Jody Thomas from the National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) to talk about the NFWL, its mission, and more. They cover the NFWL's role in supporting female legislators through professional development, mentorship, and networking. You won't want to miss this fun and informative conversation! The Ryans also recap the DMGS 2024 State Capitol Building Bracket Challenge, which saw over 5,000 votes on our Twitter/X. The winner for the inaugural challenge was Nebraska! Thanks to everyone for voting. About the NFWL:THE VISION OF NFWL is to empower and inspire elected women to become thought leaders who shape America's future.THE MISSION OF NFWL is to provide strategic resources to elected women for leadership development, exchange of diverse legislative ideas, and effective governance through conferences, state outreach, educational materials, professional and personal relationships, and networking. We encourage the election and/or appointment of women to public office.Since 1971, the number of women serving in state legislatures has more than quintupled. Today they hold 2,307, or 31.2% of the 7,383 seats nationwide. Currently, 24 women serve in the US Senate and 120 serve in the US House of Representatives, while 95 women hold statewide elective office. Of those, there are 9 women Governors, 19 Lt. Governors, 8 Attorneys General and 21 Secretaries of State. From Washington, DC to local city councils, women are making a big difference in politics and how our country is run. Women chair numerous committees, they influence policy and they understand the importance of building bipartisan coalitions in support of the nation's most pressing concerns to ensure widespread change in both thought and policy on a variety of issues.That's where the National Foundation for Women Legislators comes in! Since 1938, NFWL has served as a forum for elected women from across the country to be empowered through information and experience. As the oldest organization for elected women in America and the ONLY one that includes women on the city, county and state levels, we encourage our members to take leadership roles and form connections across the aisle. We know that only by working together, can we achieve our goals.Learn more: https://www.womenlegislators.org/

More than 500 years of experience is about to retire from the Minnesota legislature at the end of this year, and retiring lawmakers take with them a significant amount of institutional knowledge and negotiating prowess. Among the soon-to-be retirees are two influential women legislators--Senate Finance Chair Julie Rosen and Senate Health and Human Services Chair Michelle Benson-- who have played significant roles in shaping state policy. They join Capitol Report moderator Shannon Loehrke to reflect on their legislative careers as they prepare to leave public service.Senator David Tomassoni, who served 30 years in the Minnesota Legislature, passed away recently from ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. He was called "a giant" and "a wonderful colleague, friend and mentor" by fellow Senators. He was considered a legislator who "built bridges and worked collaboratively and with dignity, love and respect, even during the most contentious of debates.” On this week's program, we remember Senator David Tomassoni.Each year, state fairgoers are asked to take an opinion poll on pressing state issues. Questions are developed from among the numerous bills proposed by lawmakers and represent pressing issues and concerns that remain unresolved. On this week's program, we take a look at the Minnesota Senate booth and the House of Representatives booth inside the Education building, on Cosgrove street, at the state fair grounds.Finally, Historian Brian Pease talks with Shannon about the historical Supreme Court Chamber in the Minnesota State Capitol.

A lesson in Shakespearean acting. Plus, a Starbucks store votes to unionize, a long lost lady beetle is found, and the history of the Vermont chapter of the Order of Women Legislators.

Maryland Delegate Lauren Arikan, Republican from District 7 (Baltimore & Harford Counties), joined WMAL's "O'Connor and Company" radio program on Thursday about how ALL of the Republican female lawmakers left the Women Legislators of Maryland after Dems played games with the voting. Del. Arika also gave us an update about Maryland homeschooling legislation (HB 832) that could cause problems for homeschooling families. She is fighting the push in Annapolis to create a committee to "oversee" homeschooling in Maryland  BACKGROUND: What's thought to be the oldest bipartisan legislative women's group in the nation is no more.  All of the Republicans in the  Women Legislators of Maryland have resigned after Democrats skipped past a GOP member who was in line to be the group's next president.  That member - Delegate Lauren Arikan - calls it a great loss.  An informal agreement to allow a GOP member to be president every third year was dashed by Democrats, who outnumber Republican women, 7 to 1 in Annapolis.. Also, here is more information about how Democrats are going after homeschooling in Maryland: https://omny.fm/shows/oconnor-and-company/02-08-22-maryland-delegate-lauren-arikan-interview Video about HB 832: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uWxLvnMD-4 / https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/hb0832 For more coverage on the issues that matter to you, visit www.WMAL.com, download the WMAL app or tune in live on WMAL-FM 105.9 FM from 5-9 AM ET.

She won an Emmy award for her work on the series "Exporting America" about globalization and outsourcing American jobs overseas, and is author of three books: Smart is the New Rich: If You Can't Afford it—Put it Down (Wiley 2010) How to Speak Money (Wiley 2012) and Smart is the New Rich Money Guide for Millennials (Wiley March 2015). Romans is known as CNN's explainer-in-chief of all things money. She covers business and finance from the perspective of American workers and small business owners, translating what budgets and bailouts and economic data mean for families. Romans brings an award-winning career in business reporting. In 2014, she crossed the country reporting for her series, "Is College Worth it." In 2010, Romans co-hosted "Madoff: Secrets of a Scandal," a special hour-long investigative report examining disgraced financier Bernard Madoff and how he perpetrated one of the largest investor frauds ever committed by an individual. In 2009, her special "In God We Trust: Faith & Money in America" explored the intersection of how our religious values govern the way we think about and spend our money. Her series of reports "Living Dangerously" illustrated the risks and precautions for the nearly 30 percent of America's population living in the path of an Atlantic-coast hurricane. In "Deadly Hospitals," she examined how hospitals spread dangerous infections and what patients can do to protect themselves. Romans joined CNN Business News in 1999, spending several years reporting from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Romans was the anchor of CNNfn's Street Sweep tracking the market's boom through the late 1990s to tragedy of Sept. 11 attacks. She anchored the first democratic elections in Iraq's history from CNN Center in Atlanta. She has covered four hurricanes and four presidential elections, and was part of the coverage teams that earned CNN a George Foster Peabody award for its Hurricane Katrina coverage and an Alfred I. duPont Award for its coverage of the tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia. The National Foundation for Women Legislators has honored her with its media excellence award for business reporting and the Greenlee School of Journalism named her the 2009 James W. Schwartz award recipient.

His research and writing focuses on terrorism, counterterrorism, social media influence and Russian disinformation. Clint's tracking of terrorist foreign fighters allowed him to predict the rise of the Islamic State over al Qaeda in 2014. From 2014 – 2016, Clint worked with a team to track and model the rise of Russian influence operations via social media leading up to the U.S. Presidential election of 2016. This research led Clint to testify before four different Senate committees in 2017 and 2018 regarding Russia's information warfare campaign against the U.S. and the West. Clint's writing has appeared in a range of publications to include the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, The Daily Beast, Politico, Lawfare, War On The Rocks and the Huffington Post.

The Vermont Women's Legislative Caucus began its political life as the Vermont Chapter of the Order of Women Legislators, the OWLs. In  June 1936, the women then in the Vermont legislature met at the Fletcher Farm in Proctor for a two day organizational meeting. Following the lead of Julia Emery of Connecticut, founder of the first OWLs group in the nation in 1927, the Vermont legislators joined together to form an organization, which, according to the Rutland Herald reported at the time, "is something else again, a legislative no­man's land, as it were, social, informative, discursive, and instructive in its scope." Twelve years later, Vermont participated in forming the National OWLs, receiving the support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.   For more background on this episode, visit: https://vermonthistory.org/the-owls-vermonts-women-legislators-1936

Around 40 percent of candidates will be women, but if results from previous elections are anything to go by, the chances for many of these women to actually win a seat are rather slim. While female representation in political institutions has gradually improved over the years, Indonesian women still face a range of socio-economic, socio-cultural and political challenges in their struggle to achieve gender parity. In this week’s Talking Indonesia podcast, Dr Dirk Tomsa discusses these challenges and the prospects of overcoming them with Ella Prihatini, a journalist and PhD candidate at the University of Western Australia in Perth and the author of the recently published article ‘Women’s Representation in Asian Parliaments: a QCA Approach’. In 2018, the Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Dave McRae from the University of Melbourne’s Asia Institute, Dr Jemma Purdey from Monash University, Dr Charlotte Setijadi from Singapore Management University and Dr Dirk Tomsa from La Trobe University.

Before this morning's attacks in Brussels, the big international news was President Obama's visit to Cuba. We speak with Colorado U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, who's traveling with the president, and with some Cuban-Americans who want to make life better on the island. Then, Colorado's a leader when it comes to electing women to political office -- women make up a bigger proportion of our legislature than any other state. But a new documentary shows that it's not always easy for them when they get there. Pat Schroeder, the first woman elected to Congress from Colorado, remembers the committee chairman who considered her a half-person.
