Advisory Committee
Our advisory committee is a diverse roster of elected officials and former candidates across the country. This committee provides endorsed candidates with support, mentorship and a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to run as a mama.

In her free time, you will find Yadira running, reading and spending time with her wonderful family (husband and two school aged children).
