Somehow I managed to get these two amazing women as guests this week! I chat with Ohio State House Representatives Michele Grim and Beryl Brown-Piccolantonio about navigating the Republican supermajority as Democrats, the importance of voting, advice for running for office, challenges faced by women in politics and more.
I'm proud of these two, they fight daily for all Ohioans. Absorb their words! Check your voter registration at https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/
