LBJ Museum lecture highlights women in politics

It is no secret that politics have typically been dominated by men. According to the Center for American Women and Politics, only 25% of the U.S. Senate are women and only 29% of the U.S. House of Representatives are women.

That is what happened in to many businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were many funding options available, but there was also enough required red-tape to cause problems.
