Friends in High Places

Today Robbie was lucky enough to meet Senator Gillibrand on an outing with Mom.

Senator Gillibrand is by far one of my favorite Members.  She comes from a family with a long line of political involvement, and I've followed her career since she arrived in DC.  When Secretary Clinton resigned to take her position at State, Senator Gillibrand was appointed to her position.  Smart pick!


She's a working mom with two little ones of her own...

She's smart as hell and verbal on so every issue that I've spoken with her on...

... and for Robbie's sake, she's the Senate originator of legislation to promote a tax credit for infertility treatments.

This is the legislation the RESOLVE organization was pushing back on their Hill day in the spring, and I was able to thank her for her leadership on the effort. 

We need more Moms in Congress!
