Politico is running a story about new conservative GOP women in Congress. Among them — Rep. Renee Ellmers of N.C.’s 2nd District.
Ellmers said in the past, some conservative women have shied away from expressing their conservatism.
“We don’t like to talk about conservative issues, we don’t want to step on anyone’s toes we want to be politically correct,” she says. “But it’s time, especially in our country today with the economy the way that it is that women are more open to having these conversations and voicing their opinions. That’s what I’ll be working on with my fellow women.”
