There are so many people who just who can't make it or who don't engage in the process

because they don't understand it or they don't have the right information.

So if we can remove some of those barriers, I think we are going to make this a much stronger

country because I believe that every voice at the table is what makes it stronger, you

know, the strongest we possibly can be.

So that's what I love about our country and our democracy.

You're listening to Pantsuit Politics.

No shouting, no insults, plenty of nuance.

Hello everyone, thank you for joining us for this Friday episode of Pantsuit Politics.

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season.

Today we are going to start by sharing a conversation with Lindsey James, who successfully ran for

the legislature in Iowa.

And then we're going to talk with Carrie Hicks, who is a new senator in Oklahoma.

And finally, you're going to hear from Erica McAdoo.

Erica narrowly lost her race for the legislature in North Carolina.

But Erica is not deterred.

And I think you're going to love hearing her reflections and her plans for what's next.

We are so happy to be back with Lindsey James, who won her race for the legislature in Iowa.

Lindsey, welcome back to Pantsuit Politics and congratulations.

Thank you.

And thanks for having me on again.
