Episode Details

Description: Welcome to Elected Women Across America, a podcast featuring elected women with common goals to exchange legislative ideas and reach across the aisle. Hosted by the National Foundation for Women Legislators, this podcast provides a direct line to the leaders that the organization empowers. 

In this episode, Oklahoma State Senator Carrie Hicks and Chippewa County Board Supervisor Kari Ives share how they found the reasons to run for office and look ahead to legislative priorities in 2024. 

At the end of our episode, we'll look at developments on an issue we learned more about at our annual conference; menopause. While not often talked about, it has major health implications for women, and is under-researched.  For more information about this important topic, you can visit the following resources:
