Liuba Grechen Shirley, founder and CEO of the Vote Mama Foundation and its affiliated political action committee, joined Bloomberg Governmentâs Kyle Trygstad and Greg Giroux on the latest episode of Downballot Counts to discuss her efforts to make it easier to run for office as a working mother.
During her 2018 challenge to then-Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.), she had young children and had to give up her income to devote the time necessary to run for officeâand with one salary, child care was difficult to afford. The Democrat successfully petitioned the Federal Election Commission to allow candidates to use campaign funds for child care. Sheâs now working to get all 50 states to allow state and local candidates to do the same.
