At this point, we’ve heard the word inflation, on average, 10 million times per day since this spring. It’s the word of (every) day, the topic of the moment, and perhaps the campaign weapon of choice for Republicans going into the midterms. And for that reason, and perhaps 10 million more, it’s pretty key to be tuned into what inflation actually is, what causes it, what reduces it, what people (politicians included) can do or not do about it, and so on. Since we’re not math girls (we wish we were but alas we can’t win ‘em all), we brought in our go-to econ expert, CNBC Contributor and Founder at New Street Advisors, Delano Saporu to answer all of our q’s – and yours too! Many an audience q was answered and we love to see it.

Spoonful Overnight Oats! https://www.spoonful.life/ Code: GIRLANDGOV

If you’ve heard of Ken Russell’s campaign for Congress, it might be because you’re deep in FL politics, but more likely than not it’s because of the TikTok stardom he has come into over the last year. The TikTok talent knows a thing about politics (hello, currently is a Miami City Commissioner), and how to meet people (voters) where they are (sound familiar), which is social media. His TikTok is a master class on how to show authenticity and transparency for candidates up and down the ballot, and we talk about why this is still being slept on by some of the major dem orgs. We also talk about the inner workings there (cough cough the flip flopping he experienced), the tea around Miami politics, and the impetus for his political career in the first place.

Another day, another mysterious elected position explained! In this episode, we cover lieutenant governors, a role that not all states have, that differs in role per state, and makes us more curious than George. To answer all of our q’s, we brought the expert in – Lt. Governor of Vermont, Molly Gray – who got us squared away with answers galore. Butttt, there’s more, because Molly is also running for Vermont’s one Congressional Seat (yep, you heard that right, the Green Mt. State only has one seat) and we get into the issues she’s running on and what she wants to make happen in Congress.

There is something in the water in Michigan, because the executive branch is home to THREE absolute powerhouse women in politics, one of which is Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson. At the forefront of protecting election integrity and democracy in 2020 and onward, Secretary of State Benson truly understands the importance of this position. In our interview with her, we walk through what this vital role does, which states have them, and the various ways they work with others in government – hint: there’s even a group chat. We get into the role, we get into her reelection campaign, and we get into the tea.

Instagram Post on Assault Weapon Ban Bill: https://bit.ly/3OuCqHP

Honored, thrilled, over the moon, and beyond excited are a few of the phrases we’d use to describe how we felt going into this interview and how we feel releasing it. We had the pleasure of sitting down virtually with the incredible Monica Simpson, who is the Executive Director of SisterSong. In our conversation, we chatted about SisterSong, the work they do as a coalition, and two key topics – reproductive justice and birth justice. Through our conversation we talk about what each is, how they intersect, and how these movements not only came about but continue to be relevant (even more so) in a post-Roe world. We also discuss the overwhelmingly disproportionate impact that the overturning of Roe has on BIPOC people, and the long ignored issue of access (just because something’s legal, doesn’t mean all people have access to it).
