Talking with Jody Rushton
Celebrating 100 Years of Women's Suffrage
|
|
2020 marks 100 years since the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which officially granted women the constitutional right to vote. It also marks the 100th year of women voting in Presidential elections. What better way to mark the occasion than by having a conversation with the immediate past president of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW), Texas' own, Jody Rushton!
You're probably familiar with our TFRW tradition of incorporating the yellow rose. But do you know the story behind its symbolism? Listen to this week's Talking with TAD to learn the significance of yellow roses to the women's suffrage movement and why this year it's as important as ever to exercise this right for which women fought so hard.

Trump Victory Experiences Unmatched Enthusiasm After Tulsa Rally
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel
said on
Thursday, that special elections prove "the ultimate poll is Election Day." This week, while the fake news media hoped to find validation for their questionable polling, Republicans in New York were celebrating a huge victory after Chris Jacobs won a special election on Tuesday for New York’s 27th District U.S. House seat by nearly 40 points. As a President Trump-endorsed Republican, Jacobs outperformed 2016 margins, showing that enthusiasm for Republican leadership is surging. President Trump won the district by 25 points in 2016, and in 2018, Republicans held onto the seat by less than half a point.
Jacob's impressive performance comes just a month after Republicans flipped a House seat in deep-blue Ventura County, California. That special election marked the first time Republicans flipped a House seat in California since 1998 - 22 years! Republican Mike Garcia won CA-25's vote by 12 points. In 2016, that same district voted for Clinton by 7 points.
