Women on the right need a safe space to discuss politics, policy, news, and ownership over the fact that it is ok to agree to disagree. It is our First Amendment right to free speech. Before we can even out the number of women in our local, state, & federal governments, we need to empower women to feel comfortable and confident discussing these and other topics. My name is Jennifer. I’m a single mom of three girls living in Boston. I’m a lawyer with two political science degrees, and I have no problem talking politics with people who disagree with me. I spent three years as the Chairman of the Massachusetts GOP and ran for the very liberal Boston City Council. I’m a frequent analyst on Newsmax, Fox News Radio, and Boston Media. As a Republican in a blue state, I know a few things about how to disagree agreeably. Join me for fascinating conversations that engage and clarify every week.

Diversity of opinions and perspectives on the governor's council is essential to ensure fair and impartial decisions in appointing judges. Activist judges who inject political ideologies into judicial decisions can lead to unjust rulings, highlighting the need for balanced judicial qualifications. Anne's public service, corrections, and criminal justice background make her a strong candidate for the governor's council. Educating the public about the governor's council's role can spark interest and support for its important work.

Thorough vetting and selection of candidates for government positions is essential to effectively serve the public. Financial influences and political connections should not be the primary factors in evaluating candidates; personal references and accomplishments should be considered.

    United We Stand: Massachusetts Candidate Susanne Conley's Call for Republican Unity

    In this week's episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes Susanne Conley, a Republican candidate for the Second Barnstable District in Massachusetts. Susanne shares her concerns about the impact of wind turbines off the coast of Cape Cod and discusses the challenges of campaigning in a tourist destination. She also touches on issues such as illegal immigration, law and order, and the upcoming election in Massachusetts. Susanne Conley is a first-time candidate for the Second Barnstable District in Massachusetts. She decided to run for office because she was frustrated with the current representative's lack of attention to citizens' concerns, particularly regarding a company's plan to install electrical cables and infrastructure in Cape Cod, which could damage the environment and drinking water. Susanne is deeply involved in opposing this project, which could lead to the installation of 2,500 wind turbines off the Cape Cod coast, raising environmental and safety concerns. "They're coming to this country because it's a great country, it's a land of opportunity. There are freedoms here, but these leftists who welcome them, at the same time, are trying to install the kind of government they are fleeing from. That irony doesn't escape me at all." ~Susanne Conley Today on Political Contessa: Wind turbines off the coast of Cape Cod could have a significant impact on the environment and residents' livelihoods. Campaigning in a tourist destination presents unique challenges for candidates. Focusing on policies rather than personal opinions about candidates is crucial in the upcoming election. The ocean wind farm industry is facing a public relations nightmare. Illegal immigration is a pressing issue in Massachusetts, with Susanne Conley calling for the repeal of the right-to-shelter law. Fiscal policies and spending plans for illegal immigrants are a point of concern. President Trump's policies and presence on the ballot could affect voter turnout in Massachusetts. Unity within the Republican party is essential, and Trump's policies have significantly impacted the country.

    Gaslighting in Politics: Jennifer Nassour on Economic Realities and Political Spin

    In this week's episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer dives into the topic of political gaslighting, drawing from her recent op-ed that addresses the growing mistrust between American families and politicians. She dissects an instance involving Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Leader and Democrat from New York, who dismissed a poll suggesting Americans felt the economy was better under former President Trump's administration than the current one. Jennifer highlights the importance of recognizing and respecting the real concerns and feelings of American voters. Jennifer Nassour is a passionate commentator dedicated to shedding light on political realities and advocating for honest discourse between politicians and voters. As a single mother, she brings a unique perspective to the table, focusing on how political decisions impact everyday American families. With a knack for exposing truth and demanding accountability, Jennifer continuously strives to bridge the disconnect between Washington and the people it serves. "Democrats can tell me until they're blue in the face that the economy is outperforming expectations, but if I have to put off a vacation with my kids because my paycheck isn't going as far as it used to, that's a feeling that those numbers can't change." ~Jennifer Nassour Today on Political Contessa: Mistrust in politicians is growing due to perceived dishonesty and gaslighting. Political discourse often ignores or dismisses the genuine concerns of American families. A significant portion of Americans felt the economy was better under the Trump administration than the current Biden administration. Inflation has significantly increased since the COVID-19 pandemic, deeply affecting household finances. American families are more reliable indicators of economic performance than economic experts in Washington. Politicians' salaries, often funded by taxpayer dollars, further distance them from the everyday struggles of average Americans. The dismissive attitude of some political leaders is a primary reason for the ongoing fascination with Trump. Authenticity and genuine listening are crucial for politicians to reconnect with and truly represent their constituents.   Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa   Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.
