Summary

Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell sat down with South Carolina Senator Katrina Shealy who — in 2012 — was elected to the all-male Senate. Yes, it was all-male. And yes, it was 2012... For years, Sen. Shealy was either ignored by her colleagues or straight-up bullied and harassed — even evoking the infamous “Women are a lesser cut of meat” comment from another senator. Nevertheless, she got down to business and became a champion of speaking up for women and children — two populations of South Carolina citizens who went largely unnoticed by lawmakers. In 2021, Sen. Shealy introduced a bill that would outlaw coercive control in South Carolina. The bill didn’t make it out of committee. In this episode, Sen. Shealy talked about what it’s going to take to make Mica’s Law happen.
