The Ascend Fund’s Abbie Hodgson set an aggressive goal: achieve gender parity in US politics by 2050. That’s two decades earlier than if we maintained the current rate of electing women. Tune in to hear the plan! In a conversation led by hosts Dee Martin and Yasmin Nelson, Abbie also shares details about her journey running for office and how her experiences in a male-dominated field inspired her to build a pathway for women in politics. Believing diversity makes democracy stronger, Abbie is committed to recruiting more women run for office regardless of party affiliation. She uses the advice she would tell her younger self to inspire others—know your values, know your worth, and let your values guide your work!
