Did you get to watch the first Republican debate? I’d go so far as to say that the debate stage was filled with boys acting like children playing in the sandbox. The only adult on the stage was a woman—Nikki Haley. A former diplomat, Nikki Haley served as the 29th United States Ambassador to the United Nations from 2017 to 2018. She also formerly served as the Governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017. I believe that we need a competent, experienced, and compassionate leader who knows exactly what they’re doing and what they’re going to do—and we have an opportunity to have that kind of leader by supporting Nikki Haley.



In this episode, I share my notes and observations from the first Republican debate. I discuss why Nikki Haley is our best option for the presidency and share her stances on reproductive rights and foreign policy. I also explain why following the debates is important for everyone and highlight the characteristics we need from the next President of the United States.

Women on the right need a safe space to discuss politics, policy, news, and ownership over the fact that it is ok to agree to disagree. It is our First Amendment right to free speech. Before we can even out the number of women in our local, state, & federal governments, we need to empower women to feel comfortable and confident discussing these and other topics.

My name is Jennifer. I’m a single mom of three girls living in Boston. I’m a lawyer with two political science degrees, and I have no problem talking politics with people who disagree with me.

I spent three years as the Chairman of the Massachusetts GOP and ran for the very liberal Boston City Council. I’m a frequent analyst on Newsmax, Fox News Radio, and Boston Media. As a Republican in a blue state, I know a few things about how to disagree agreeably.
