In this issue of Amplify, guest editor Frances Bula takes a political tour through the U.S.: ‘There’s something very different going on here, light years removed from the tentative enthusiasm about Hillary Clinton’s run for president in 2016’

Frances Bula is pictured at the Webster School in Manchester, New Hampshire on the day of the primary, just as Senator Elizabeth Warren arrived and a giant media pack descended on Feb. 11, 2020.But this year, I’m spending the time and money – time and money that could have gone to a Mexican beach vacation – being a political tourist at the U.S. presidential primaries in frozen Iowa and New Hampshire.

Frances Bula and Amy Klobuchar are pictured on the night of the Iowa caucus at the Marriott Hotel in Des Moines on Feb. 2, 2020.That’s changed now, when there are two women candidates – Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar – in the top five. I’ve been covering civic politics for more than 35 years in B.C.

Attending these events, I have been struck by how women, especially young women, are highly visible in many of the campaigns, not just with Klobuchar and Warren, but also Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders. They head campaigns as lead organizers and precinct captains. And some of these women have already been elected themselves.

Lol. Sure
