[image: image.png] my post from Facebook about women leaders In 1992 one of my last big events before the November election was in front of the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber in the state. After I made my opening remarks a gentleman stood up and asked: Excuse me Lady have you ever had a job? A hush came over the room. I smiled and grabbed the podium remembering the words of my dad….don’t be mad be funny.So <funny.so/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2yzDIdxZIZeVQdiuium2obl54Lk6OMj9jl2uayVmNpNEZx0sdG6pXuRDU_aem_6uGsZVX6kLFGuvfk4nHBWQ> I looked at him and said: Actually I woke up one morning and thought- should I make brownies or run for Governor and the brownies would have only cost a buck and would have been done in less than an hour…So sir why did you ask me that question? Oh I know, you saw a young woman standing in front of you wearing a short skirt and you saw a secretary, a daycare worker, a waitress…what you didn’t see was a law school graduate, a low income advocate, an adult educator, a radio talkshow host, a realtor, a legislator honored by groups as diverse as the Sierra Club, the Association of Social Workers, the NEA and the Council of State Governments that recognized me as one of the 30 best and brightest leaders in the country…But let’s be honest what you really didn’t see was a Governor….Not a problem. But here is the good news, you will get used to it. Why am I sharing this story? Because not only did NH elect the next two women who ran for Governor (Shaheen and Hassen), but this November, NH voters will have a choice between a Republican woman and a Democratic woman. It is clear, we got used to it
