Experience for me and, you know, i just hope im a role model for other young women. At what point did you say im going to run for congress . Ms. Stefanik thats a great question. I decided to run for congress after the 2012 election. I worked on governor romneys campaign. I was head of debate prep for paul ryan. And i was very disappoint in the outcome of the 2012 election but i spent a lot of time thinking about how the party needs to run, new generation candidates, and needs to be able to pass our message to young voters, particularly young women. In new york state, i grew up in my family, Small Business, my parents started as a kid. And its gotten harder to grow as a business in new york than it was over 20 years ago when they started. We need policies to promote entrepreneurialism and innovation and economic growth. But we need to have a new generation of leadership in congress. So after 2012, i started working at my familys business which i grew up around and i started as a complet
China is a partner with us. We exchange students, exchange faculty come all for the betterment of scholarship and for research. Not directly involved in those sordid discussions but it bears, we may be able to play along the way we might think about how we can be helpful to someone. I will add one more point because its important. Theyre making a lot of judicial changes. They established a special is ip core to your ip cases. This is a national court, not local. Its a national court, very much looking through it as an experience or judicial reform, greater amount of transparency into the recordation of their opinions, allowance of our discovery and maybe even greater damages or towards along the lines for ip rights. Those are positive changes were looking forward to. I think theyre working very hard on. I think it is a positive step. Out of are basing office weve been working with the ip court in the last six months they been established. Doing training for the judges and holding faire
Things will kind of go not go away but kind of allow it . Like she said, when she was in the class with the lieutenants, they wasnt worried about oh, youre female. Maybe its more of a generation, as you said, generations before. I think i graduated the same year as you. I saw Different Things and probably the lieutenants coming out today. Thats my question. And is there research being done with maybe a generational gap as far as cultural as we change our culture . I definitely believe it is leaderships ability to change that and make a difference. Thats a great question. Anybody want to take a crack at it . Anything you researched about the generational question . I think there is research that indicates there is sort of a cultural gap and certainly with dont ask dont tell theres the same kind of indications. The problem is often that leadership is part of the generation that may be stuck in the old culture were talking about. So it may take some time for cultural change. So yeah. I ce
Which includes north country. The youngest woman ever elected to congress. Is that right . Representative stefanik i actually didnt know i was going to be the youngest elect until i wanted the primary. I went into the race not knowing the historic nature. After i won the primary, the media started covering the race and talking about how i would be the youngest elected. At Campaign Rallies particularly towards the end parents started ringing the Elementary School aged daughters, republicans democrats, unaffiliated voters, just to show to their daughters a role model of what they can achieve. It is something that i take very seriously as a remodel in this country. Not just for republican women but for all women who want to break glass ceilings in whatever role they are in, whether it is business politics, or the arts. I think we need to show an example for our women. We have young women coming through my office, whether young candidates looking for advice i had a great letter from a midd
