How often does a media juggernaut look to a Michigander for advice? It happened this morning. Diane Tucker, a Washington,D.C.-based columnist for The Huffington Post, profiled me today on women and political power. One of the questions she asked was, "What are the first three things a woman should do who is thinking about running?"
Here they are: 1) Start telling people you're thinking of running. You'll be amazed at the encouragement and support you'll get. 2) Figure out why you're running; best way to do that is to start developing your campaign website. 3) Start raising money -- and begin with people who believe in you and you've supported and helped. Bottom line: It's all about numbers now -- we need many, many more women to RUN! Here's the Huffington Post piece, What's an Underemployed Gal to Do? Run for Office."
