In 2008, I worked for Barack Obama for a couple of years in that early campaign.
So I knew I was
interested in politics.
I remember you running for office.
Say it again.
You ran for office.
No.
No, my husband did.
That's right.
No, I never heard that.
Yeah.
But anyway, so in 2016, I started working on economics and you're right.
I went back to school.
I got a master's.
I'm finishing a doctorate.
uh now and um i've learned that the things that i care the most about are um thinking precisely about how do we make the economy work better because i did you know i did grow up middle class my mom was a public school teacher my dad was a traveling paper salesman i'm not that now and i got lucky but the vast majority of americans feel like we're stuck in place and so it's a it's it's um
It's what I love doing is trying to figure out, well, how do we make this economy more fair, one that creates one that has fewer billionaires and less poverty?
And the more that I work on these topics, the more you can see the recipe.
You can find these policies that do it.
We just have to build the political will to get it done.
