This time on Code WACK! Longtime nurse advocate, single mother, and now California Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo was the only Democrat to unseat a Republican incumbent in the California assembly last November.

What inspired her to get into politics? What are her priorities when it comes to health care, homelessness, and housing?

We're highlighting Schiavo's impressive story today in honor of Women's History Month. Find out what she thinks would be a major game-changer in the fight against poverty. This is the first of a two-part series with the assemblywoman.
