3. Not only a role model for women a role model for any decent human!

She is fantastic I just love her! I remember getting to see her last year when Joaquin Castro brought her to San Antonio for a small gathering to talk about Trump's tax scheme. She was hilarious and just as awesome in person as she is on TV. I felt so honored to see her so up and close in person! She is an inspiration to all!

She also reminds me of my grandmother who was exactly like Nancy in so many ways (including they look almost identical when my grandmother was her age) except my grandmother was not a politician. She was a strong woman and a hard worker at home, managing family and as a CEO wife she managed my grandpa's career. He would not have been as successful if she wasn't pulling the strings and he always admitted that. After she died a close family friend said that when she was 40 and thinking about going back to school to get her architect degree but wondering if it was really worth it since she was 40 and my grandma told her..."follow your dream either way you will still be 40 so why would that stop you." Now that family friend is a successful architectural professor at the University of Houston (and proudly part of the resistance).
