Last week on WomenCount Radio we had the great pleasure of chatting with Ohio’s Secretary of State and candidate for U.S. Senate, Jennifer Brunner. As Ohio’s first female Secretary of State and only the 5th woman to serve in an executive level position in Ohio, she has taken it upon herself to bring together the other women who serve in Ohio, both Democrat and Republican, as a way to cross party lines so that they can work together and focus on the issues facing women in Ohio.

Jennifer received the John F. Kennedy profile in courage award for her amazing work reforming Ohio’s voting process. Reform is the best way to describe how she has faced issues head-on and prepares to handle the even deeper issues she’d face as Ohio’s senator.

You can listen here to Jennifer talk about her plans for health care reform and a number of other issues facing Ohioans and the rest of the country here,

Or you can download the show straight from the iTunes store and listen to it whenever you want.

Julie Pippert and Meghan Harvey chatted about a few other topics off the WomenCount blog as well during the show.

Previously on the show. we talked about how the skills used by PTA moms across the country are the same skills needed to run a good campaign or run for office, check out how Senator Patty Murray got her start just that way.

Did you know the first woman elected to any office in the U.S. did so because of a prank gone wrong? Read about America’s first lady mayor, Susanna Madora Salter.

We here at WomenCount wish Jennifer Brunner much luck on her Senate Campaign! Be sure and tune in to WomenCount Radio on Blog Talk Radio every Thursday 10:30PM EST/7:30PM PST.
