Judy joins me today to discuss civic engagement and the role of women in the political process. She explains women's unique ability to understand, communicate, and advocate for issues like childcare and early childhood education. She discusses the rising inflation and cost of living and how wages aren't able to cope. Judy also highlights the importance of being engaged on issues that affect your everyday personal life and shares some of her experiences from working on campaigns.

"Democrats and Republicans know who they're voting for—these people are engaged in the process. People who don't know who to vote for make their decisions based on who has the cutest quarterback or the best logo." - Judy Crocker

Women on the right need a safe space to discuss politics, policy and 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.

I’m Jennifer. I’m a single mom of 3 girls living in Boston. I’m a lawyer with 2 political science degrees and I have NO problem talking politics with people who disagree with me.

I spent 3 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. And as a Republican in a blue state, I know a few things about how to disagree agreeably.
