Money and politics have long been intertwined, with financial contributions playing a crucial role in campaigns. However, the influx of funds at every level of government raises concerns about transparency, ethics, and influence.

During this program, keynote speaker Erin Loos Cutraro, co-founder and CEO of She Should Run, explores how power dynamics affect political opportunities, often sidelining women, especially those from underrepresented communities. She highlights the systemic barriers women face in fundraising and legislative challenges that shape their everyday lives.

Cutraro’s keynote invites participants to engage in meaningful discussions on these issues, fostering a supportive community for women in politics.
