Quote of the Day | June 26, 2016

“I get a lot of questions like ‘Are you married?’, ‘Do you have children?’, ‘You look too young.’ ‘You look like a teenager.’ … I don’t want to ever be rude, but I also want to make these men aware that the way they’re treating me is not acceptable. If we want more women in public office, we need to start treating them equally and fairly.”

-Carrie Blumert, a candidate for Oklahoma County commissioner [NewsOK]
