Schultz, who has taken a leave of absence from her job during her husband’s campaign, kept nearly 75 Democratic women laughing, listening and thinking as she regaled them with stories about politics, women’s voting rights, writing and her life growing up the daughter of a staunch union worker.
Schultz explained her background, telling the members how she introduced herself as a columnist — as the daughter of a union man who brought his lunchbox to work every day.
Schultz also encouraged the women to find five people who are undecided about who to vote for and take them under their wing, encouraging them to vote Democrat, but mainly to vote.
