Women in Politics: Why I Support Nikki Haley’s Presidential Run

 

 

Women haven’t always been part of the political landscape. Trailblazers like Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor fought for the right to represent their country, make laws that make us all more equal, and inspired generations of women to get involved in politics, like me. Justice O’Connor’s career inspired me to change my major in college from biology to political science. I couldn’t wait to be involved in electing the next great role model for future generations of girls and inspiring them to fall in love with politics like I did. 

 

Today, I’m discussing my journey from aspiring politician to Political Contessa, and the candidate I’m falling in love with and hope to see elected. I recount how I adopted a different political ideology than my Democratic family. I share my first political love, Senator Al Demoto, and his ability to get things done for his constituents. I highlight Governor Jane Swift’s in-office pregnancy and how it showed me how to balance work and home life gracefully. I recount my time working with outstanding candidates like Carrie Healy and Beth Lindstrom. I also discuss why I support Nikki Haley’s presidential candidacy, why her experience makes her the perfect candidate for the job, and what I think she’ll be able to accomplish if elected.

 

“All these young women give me so much hope of what could happen in the future and how women could actually be part of the political process and make a difference.” -Jennifer Nassour
