Ryan’s political journey began as a youthful state representative for the 18th Worcester District, elected during Jennifer's tenure as party chair, marking a shared history of dedication and political growth alongside her.



Jennifer and Ryan delve into the complex and controversial topic of immigration in Massachusetts, highlighting the significant impacts of sanctuary policies on public safety, the financial burden, and public health. The episode rigorously examines the challenges posed by illegal immigration, the strain on local communities' resources, and the ineffectiveness in policymaking and vetting processes under current state administration. Ryan shares insight into unsustainable policies and decisions that have compounded issues for Massachusetts taxpayers and emphasizes the need for policy reforms.



“Our institutions and our policy deliveries are so weakened that anyone can come here 
and get whatever they want.” ~Ryan Fattman

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.
