Jenna Sudds’ career has spanned public service, municipal leadership, and now federal politics. She’s been a dedicated advocate for families, economic growth, and building strong, inclusive communities. But as a woman in politics, she also faces the harsh realities of online hostility, intense scrutiny, and the disproportionate aggression directed at women in leadership.

In this conversation, we’ll explore what it really means to be a woman in politics in 2025 — how Jenna navigates the challenges of her role, the support systems that help her thrive, and what needs to change to ensure more women not only enter politics but stay and succeed. But beyond the political arena, we’ll also talk about life outside of work — how she manages to leave politics at the office in an all-consuming job, and what she does to be present as a mom and wife while balancing the demands of leadership.
