br jill brand and it s failed because of how to approach it. we have our work cut out for us and i do think we have an opportunity-rich environment right now to use a military term to make sure we take advantage of this really special time, honestly where the majorities and minorities are so small and so slim that it really requires that we work together. that s an interesting point. people from the outside look at washington and say, oh, it s so broken. parties don t work together enough. you re sitting here together. you are trying to do that. and i think more of that happens than people realize back home. this is certainly something that has gained traction over the last several years. we have 33 republican women now serving in congress, the highest number ever and we are fortunate to be at this moment in history and at this moment in time when there are a critical of mass of us, in many cases where we re interested in making a difference in this area and enough history to bui
