Stefani Zimmerman will be tuning into the presidential inauguration with her five-year-old twin daughters. As self-described âpolitical nerds,â they wouldnât miss it. Talking about politics, elections, world events and social justice issues are woven into the fabric of their family.
Zimmermanâs parents were engaged in politics, and her own professional career has been devoted to government relations and advocacy. Prior to moving to Charleston, Zimmerman worked in Washington, D.C., in Congress and on presidential campaigns.
Her passion for politics didnât diminish when she became a mother. Before her girls were even a year old, they had been to the White House and Capitol Hill. Sheâs taken them along to the voting booth. The girls have participated in womenâs marches and Black Lives Matter efforts.
