Political Contessa

Jennifer Nassour

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

The Clear Path to Republican Victory

2023/11/23

Today, the front runners for the Democratic and Republican parties are old men—old. One is 77, and the other is 80. One has been in office for over 40 years and can no longer conjugate a sentence, and the other, who has over 91 indictments against him, is in court every other day. I don’t see either doing anything for democracy or our country. As a mother, this makes me concerned about the kind of country my children—and all the children of the next generation—will grow up in. So, as I wrote in

Whenever you turn on the news, there’s some story that’s just dark and mind-blowing, as if we’re living in a George Orwell book. And when you look up to the people who are supposed to make solutions to problems—elected people in government—what do you see? A group of people in disarray. It’s what happens when there's a complete lack of good, effective, and impactful leadership. But remember: as a citizen, you can get involved; you have the power to foster and ensure good leadership in the

Many politicians seem to believe there is a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to resolving most political issues. Whether it’s gun control, abortion, how to keep schools safe, or a plethora of other topics and issues that are currently considered ‘hot button topics’ in today’s society, most politicians believe they have ‘the answer’ for resolving these important issues. And with that, they also seem to be relatively close-minded on the other side’s perspective. But like these issues, there is a

Representative democracy is about representation by the people, for the people; hence, our so-called democratic elections. Through their campaigns, candidates are effectively saying they will represent the people’s interests. But when you look at your politicians, do you actually feel represented? This isn’t about whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, but whether our politicians truly represent the interests of today’s society.

She also formerly served as the Governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017. I believe that we need a competent, experienced, and compassionate leader who knows exactly
