US Women Veterans Seek Public Office

In honor of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, host Carol Castiel speaks with Elaine Luria, a retired US Navy commander turned Democratic candidate for Congress in Virginia’s 2nd District. The seat is currently held by a Republican. Also on the program is Rebecca Burgess, a program analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, who studies veterans running for public office. Carol speaks with both women about why a record number of female combat veterans have decided to run for Congress in the 2018 mid-term elections.
