Why Running for Office is Worth the Risk | Sofia Pereira | TEDxHumboldtBay

She speaks of losing her relationship with her dad as if he didn't choose to lose his own relationship with her because she wanted to be true to herself. It's his loss too, he could have chosen to agree to disagree. Good for her for staying true to herself!

Hello Lorena Spencer, There is a response written to you regarding your post.

[@8passions]

Her father actually did agree to disagree.. you are missing the point.

I deleted my comments in response to your post and my daughter's video mentioning me. I have to be the better person and just accept it is the price I must pay. Life matters and as my life comes closer to its end, I do not wish to leave behind negative statements said by me. I don't want negative reminders for Sofia from me when I am gone. She was my most significant accomplishment in life.

A phrase that really resonated with me: "What makes us human makes us equipped to lead and serve." What a beautifully courageous and inspiring talk!

There’s nothing wrong with women running for political office as long as they share the views and believes as their constituents. I don’t believe in far left candidates that push far left leaning political ideas that represent a small minority fraction of the voting public. People should be represented by politicians that support their ideas and point of view.

You do realize that in smaller elections, such as local and state, if you're running with far-left or far-right views & are elected then you're constituents likely have the same views as you. Otherwise you would not be elected.

Aww, was hoping this was a non-gender specific video.

Beginning to think you sound like a socialist.
