On Sunday, October 17, we held a panel discussion on the importance of local offices and how we can support our local candidates that don't get as much attention. We were excited to have wonderful Nevada women sharing their experiences serving in public office. We learned about the Board of Regents, School Trustees, City Council and Assessors office. Our local elected officials are the ones who dictate the local laws, policies and budgets that affect us the most. Besides voting in local elections, we need to support local candidates in every office, then hold them accountable to make positive changes in our community. Danna Lovell joined us to encourage women to run for office and explain how Emerge trains them to win.
