“We have more millionaires in Congress than we have moms. There are three times more men named John in the Senate than there are moms of minor children, and this is why our policies fail women in this country, why they fail children in this country and Vote Mama is is here to change that.”

That’s what Vote Mama founder and CEO Liuba Grechen Shirley dropped on us in this episode of Grounded that focuses on parents in politics, specifically mothers of young children. We also chat about the recent media attention around some calls to repeal the 19th amendment and other barriers for parents of young children in the political sphere where the rules were written almost exclusively by men.

JT had a date with the combine during our conversation with Liuba, but he joins MG for some headlines and to show off his funniest hat yet.
