  3. Lawrence Norden:

    I am worried about the problem of lies that are told about election work and election officials, and the more that we can do to strengthen them and to ensure they have the ability to not only do their jobs well but to push back against those lies is going to be really critical.

  4. Megan Fox:

    I would describe myself as a seeker. A seeker is someone who is never content to have obtained enough knowledge. History only gives us a one-sided view of the truth. That’s something I know from personal experience. My own history has been rewritten by other people who had a vested interest in changing the narrative, i haven’t spent my entire life building a career in academia so I don’t have to worry about my reputation or being rebuked by my colleagues, which allows me to push back on the status quo. So much of our history needs to be re-examined.

  5. Jody Neal-Post:

    I had awareness and a skill set to push back to get myself covered, and I know a lot of women don't have that access.
