Why White Women Political Leaders must face Racism

Angie Bado announced her candidacy for Texas House of Representatives, District 70 as a Democrat. She believes that for too long, the majority of Texans in her district, have not had a voice at the table. Angie feels it's time to bring back collaboration, consensus building and open communication that fosters accomplishing legislation that is important to all people. She faces the challenge of systemic racism in America and looks for answers to eliminate its cause and effect. Angie shares why it is important as a political leader to have a deeper conversation about racism in order to truly lead. “I am a white woman of privilege, I realized that I’ve been complacent and complicit in perpetuating racism. I asked myself “what role can/should I play in facilitating change”.? “How do we have, honest discussions about racism?” “How do I have these sensitive and meaningful discussions with my black friends?” “How do I approach these conversations from a position of trust?” “As a political leader how do I help my community become more whole and just?” Answering these questions are critical. So, Angie and I discuss Six Key Points: What drove her to run for office - and why now?  Her feelings about Divisiveness in our Country / Texas How to take ownership of the fact that my White Privilege has perpetuated Racism?   Why is it important for women to run for office? How can my candidacy help advance African Americans and the underserved in Texas/Country? Why is Voting THE power of the public As a state rep., Angie’s vision would be for the legislature to get to a place where, our leaders fight to support the values we believe in, while passionately fighting for solutions that will put ALL people over politics.  Angie Bado For District 70, Texas House of Representatives https://badofortexas.com/
