Former California Rep. Katie Hill had to step down last year in a scandal, but she's back with a book and a new PAC boosting the cause of women in politics.

WASHINGTON — Over the weekend, New Zealand marked 100 days without a single new coronavirus infection from within the country, meaning that it has completely eliminated community spread. Around the same time, the United States became the first nation in the world to record 5 million cases.

Women in the United States have also sometimes been more successful in managing the pandemic than their male counterparts. Black women mayors in Washington, D.C. , Atlanta and San Francisco have managed to keep their cities from experiencing full-scale outbreaks of COVID-19. Female governors in Oregon and Michigan have done the same.

In conversation with Yahoo News, Hill justifies that position by pointing out that women hold only 23.7 percent of all congressional seats, even though they make up 50.8 percent of the American population, according to the most recent statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau. That means they have half the congressional representation they might have.

At the time, she was representing California’s 25th Congressional District, which includes a swath of suburban northern Los Angeles. She had wrested it from longtime Republican control, becoming one of several Democrats to turn the suburbs of Southern California blue in the 2018 midterms. Naturally enough, the GOP wants those seats back, and will do what it can to reclaim them.

No, the fact that one of those pictures appeared to show Hill with the tattoo of a Nazi military symbol did not exactly help her chances of survival. Rather, it was the involvement of a congressional staffer that spurred an investigation. With that came the recognition that the results of that investigation were likely to prove damning.

No, what Covid has proven is that there’s a lot of sheep that will gladly follow to slaughter

KatieHill4CA Each and every day proves that women make better leaders. Men have led us into this current fiasco. It is time to try a different approach.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Doubtful. These female Governors and Mayors, along with a few Male ones, have ahown their TRUE TYRANT, CONTROLLING, INSANE, STUPID WAYS! Not just in America, but globally!

SpookyB00bs This woman was meant for the porn industry, not preaching and politics!

alexnazaryan What if we have better female leaders because of a flawed society? They have to overcome challenges that men don't have to and therefore only a few make it to the top and they clearly excel. If there was true equality we might have equally good/bad leaders from all genders.

KatieHill4CA I don’t think that men make better leaders but I also don’t think that women make better leaders. We are all the same species of great ape. i think counties with better covid responses is most tied to their strong social safety net.

Really?

Gender doesn't matter, women can be either corrupt pigs or benevolent, honest leaders, just like men. Shut up sexist.

Tramp

KatieHill4CA 🤡🤡🤡

KatieHill4CA From a woman who can't keep her pants on.

KatieHill4CA Except for her penchant to go naked, light up a blunt, do a threesome, and document it all on her cell phone.

But, at what expense.

She just wants another threesome with some unpaid interns MeToo

KatieHill4CA Silly.

KatieHill4CA YUP

Not all true because 'these 'women leaders know how to turn the sexy charm on and off to get the money from their men. I am sure men contributed lots of money to her campaign. Good leaders are good leaders no matter their gender.

A chipmunk could do a better job than the idiots in congress/senate/administration.

Nice puff piece from the 'compliant media' who never disappoints.

Wow, talk about biased articles. I have no doubt that whatever your sex or gender self-identification is, a better leader is just a better leader for many reasons, but not solely on the basis of their sex.

Seriously?

And this isn't sexist how?
