Inside Washington County on Women in Politics!

This week we consider women in politics. Historically, there have been far fewer women running for office than men in our state and Country. For the past 20 years the Democratic Party has been trying to change that with the “Emerge” program. Since 2002, Emerge has offered a premier, in-depth training program that provides aspiring women leaders with cutting-edge tools and training to run and win elected office. Emerge has trained over 4,000 Democratic women to run and 690 serve in elected office today. Our guest is Oregon’s emerge Executive Director Annie Ellison. Annie joins us with two special guests.
