EP. 80 — Can Your Vote Really Make A Difference? with Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi is the Democratic Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives for the 115th Congress. From 2007 to 2011, Pelosi served as Speaker of the House, the first woman to do so in American history.

For 30 years, Leader Pelosi has represented San Francisco, in Congress. She has led House Democrats for more than 12 years and previously served as House Democratic Whip.

Leader Pelosi joined Jonathan live on stage at the Bentzen Ball in Washington DC last weekend to talk about some of the exciting female and LGBTQ candidates fighting to flip the house and senate in Tuesday’s midterm election.

She shares some of her own experiences as a woman in politics, her insights on what needs to change in the country and how voters and even those being denied a vote can help make that happen.
