Driving It Home with Patti VasquezPatti Vasquez is joined by Jordan Zaslow, founder/executive director at Her Bold Move. The interview focused on the strong midterm election results for women supported by Her Bold Move and the organization’s plans to translate those election wins into policy wins.
Here are a few highlights from the conversation:
- The organization supported 137 candidates across 33 states; 85 percent won. All supported candidates in Arkansas, Alabama, Indiana, Missouri, and South Carolina won.
- She said the organization prioritizes abortion-ban states, where candidates connect with voters on how state policy affects their lives.
- The organization is compiling policies from across the country to help newly elected legislators identify and advance policies that improve women’s lives.
- Zaslow emphasized that having more women in legislatures can help surface the effects of legislation and address blind spots.
- Her Bold Move supports women running for a second or third time and encourages first-time candidates, including in states that are not swing states.
- The organization plans to focus on Mississippi and invites interested people to learn about volunteering or running through its website.
