Ep 265: Engineers in Public Policy: From Advocacy to Running for Office

Explore the many ways that engineers can get involved with public policy ― from learning about the issues, to speaking to legislators, to even running for office! Jenny Tsao, lead of the SWE Public Policy Affinity Group, provides tips for women in STEM who want to start getting involved in public policy. Katherine Culbert, engineer and candidate for Texas Railroad Commission, unpacks her decision to run for office and the lessons she has learned through this experience. Host Karen Horting, CEO and executive director of SWE, moderates the discussion and shares her public policy memories and experiences, including with SWE’s annual Congressional Visit Days. Please note that as a 501(c)(3) organization, SWE is strictly nonpartisan and cannot endorse political candidates.
