Empowering Fiscally Conservative Women with Nicole Dooley

Nicole Dooley is a former Hill staffer, GOP operative, and the Executive Director of The Pocketbook Project, a full-service non-profit organization that supports center-right women running for office or are interested in getting involved in the political process. The Pocketbook Project offers resources to fiscally responsible female candidates for federal, state, and local offices through mentorships, training, and webinars. Their focus is to help female candidates that support equality, the free market, fiscal responsibility, and government transparency make a difference in their communities and get elected for office.

Nicole joins me to discuss the challenges many fiscally conservative women face in today’s economic climate and why women need more resources to get more involved in running for office. We discuss why we believe government-funded universal Pre-K and childcare services should be perceived as a government investment instead of a ‘government hand-outs' and how it can positively impact the lives of millions of women.

We discuss how the Democratic party turned the Pro-Choice message into a Pro-Abortion one and the impact that overturning Roe v. Wade had on female voters. We also discuss why we believe both parties have missed the mark on their messaging around women’s rights and abortion rights and the hypocrisies we see in both political parties.

"The more ability you give to women to get into the workforce, the more competition in the workforce you’re going to have, and the better business is going to go."
