We've got a must read for you: Politics Daily is up with a piece today on "The Next 10 Women to Watch in Politics," and guess who's on the list? We're proud to see that three of our 2010 candidates and one of our favorite Congresswoman are profiled. Read here what they're saying about these amazing pro-choice Democratic women.
Tarryl Clark
"the common-sense moderate in the race, stressing her experience as a lawyer and the assistant majority leader of the Minnesota state Senate. She also highlights the fact that she's a mother of two who quilts and is active in her church. While previous challengers have been little more than a formality for the formidable Bachmann to beat down, Democrats say Clark is not only up to the task, she could be the incumbent's undoing."
Alex Sink
"Thankless tasks abound for Alex Sink, the chief financial officer for the state of Florida and the leading Democratic candidate for governor. Sink would be the first woman to serve in the top job, if she can make it through the August primary (as expected) and win the November general election."
Terri Sewell
"Sewell has already built a record of success that would have most high achievers calling it a day. The Harvard-trained lawyer was the first black valedictorian at her high school in historic Selma, Ala. From there Sewell went on to Princeton, where she was named one of Glamour Magazine's College Women of the Year, then Harvard Law School and Oxford University in England. She worked as a corporate lawyer in both New York and Alabama, where she also worked pro-bono cases for school districts looking to raise money."
Debbie Wasserman Schultz
"Democratic insiders routinely refer to Wasserman Schultz, a House member from Florida, as "the Next Nancy," as in the next woman with enough ambition, political skill and stomach for fundraising to follow in Nancy Pelosi's footsteps as a future Speaker of the House...her reputation inside the party [is] a "team player," and a woman with a relentless work ethic and limitless grit."
