SUMMARY:Alexandra Chandler Challenges Big Money in Politics
DESCRIPTION:If we want better outcomes\, we must have the courage to demand better from our leaders. Alexandra knows something about courage: in 2006\, as a transgender woman\, she was one of the first in the U.S. intelligence community to transition on the job. As a candidate for office in the 3rd Massachusetts Congressional District\, she did not take PAC money and continues to lead the charge against big money in politics. She will be talking to us about House Bill H.R. 1\, For the People Act of 2019; the impact of money in politics; and her own experiences in running for Congress.
