On today’s episode, Amanda Weinstein, Jasmine Clark and Rachel Vindman talk about taking our involvement to the next level— whether that means running for office, supporting a candidate, joining a grassroots organization, or hosting a podcast! Jasmine discusses what drove her to run for state representative in Georgia, while Amanda mentions her dedication to local issues and Rachel talks about why she joined The Suburban Women Problem.

Our hosts also chat with Maya Guy, a suburban mom from Virginia who recently decided to run for school board. Then Jasmine gets the chance to sit down with Nan Whaley. Nan has served as the mayor of Dayton since 2013 and she’s now running for Governor of Ohio. Nan and Jasmine share stories of why they ran for office and hope to inspire other women to do the same… but they also find time to bond over karaoke, 80s movies, Tina Fey, and ice cream.

Then Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to teachers, taking time for family and friends, and saying “why not” to opportunities in this week’s “Toast to Joy.”

Suburban women helped decide the 2020 election. But we’re just getting started. Are you ready to be part of The Suburban Women Problem? Sign up here to join our amazing community of women.
