If the programming at the Democratic National Convention is any indication, women are the star players this year, both on the dais and, potentially, at the ballot box. On the heels of stirring prime-time speeches by Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, a panel of U.S. Representatives including Lois Capps, Hilda Solis and Maxine Waters of California; Kathy Castor of Florida; Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut; and Nita Lowey and Louise Slaughter of New York will sound off on issues ranging from equal pay and consumer safety to health care and affordable housing at the convention Wednesday night.
We hope the highlighting of women’s concerns continues at the Republican National Convention Sept. 1-4. Which issues would you like to see get more airtime?
