In this episode, Meg and Sam take their first listener questions and they're GOOD ones. A huge barrier to women running for office is how to afford to run - whether it's paying for childcare, balancing campaigning with your job so you can pay the bills, and figuring out what to do after the election if you don't win. Meg shares her experience balancing work and running, how she manages to get it all done, and why she's sticking with her job even when a lot of people tell her she needs to campaign full-time. They'll also discuss the wave of bills nationwide to allow candidates to use campaign funds to pay for childcare.
