Description

This week, we’re talking politics, but not the messy gridlock in Washington. We’re going hyper-local. Because local elections shape our neighborhoods, our schools, our budgets, and our rights. And right now, women are stepping up to lead the charge.


Jean Chatzky sits down with Amanda Litman, co-founder of Run for Something and author of When We're In Charge, and Sarah Pierce, HerMoney’s own managing editor and the first female Mayor of Watertown, NY. They get real about what it takes to run, how young women are changing the face of leadership, and why local office might be the most powerful place to start.
