I taught at the University Maryland and serve 31 years in elected office so i love this panel even more especially now that i am not in elected office and currently serve as the headi of the amfar mezzo group. Most importantly though i am the proud father of three who was a student here and loves the school as well. Is that may not only say welcome to you but are two panelists. This panel by the way is the mac politics campaigns off the rails i hope everyone is in the right room. If you are not now is the time to quietly slipped out. Ho i do that routinely because onetime after getting what i felt was a really great lecture at the university i asked for questions as i normally do and someone raised their hand and said what does this have to do with so
Host and so database the period you must be very proud. You should be required reading at every college and university. What were you thinking about when you decided to write this book . Ask out and, weve had such a phenomenal change for women in politics on the democratic side at least over the past 30 years. People have been asking me to write this book for years and i thought you know, ive got to get the record out on what weve done and how its changed. Of course in the process was remembering all of these remarkable women, wonderful races and win in the world is a different place when you look at the congress now. Three quarters of the women in congress or Democratic Women, which were very proud of and they are making a terrific difference as you are when you see them in action all the time. Yes, absolutely.

The nominee on the other side ends up being donald trump, i think the potential is that he ends up making that case for her. And that certainly has been if you look at the polls in recent, like, the last sort of swing states, the last five states that voted last week, she won all five in a surprise sweep that even her own campaign wasnt expecting, and a lot of that was based off women moving much more towards hillary and away from the republican primaries, frankly.
