Thank you to our first ever Kickoff Keynote, Secretary Nelson for joining us and sharing some wisdom with Cohort 7 as they kick off their journey at the LBJ Women’s Campaign School!
I had the privilege of speaking with the latest class at the LBJ Women’s Campaign School (@LBJWCS) this evening. Being a woman in politics is tough, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. I have no doubt that the next generation of leaders is ready to step up and lead.
