Voices: Whitney Williams the right choice as Montana’s new governor

Many of you will have noticed the internet chatter reflecting on the impressive COVID-19 responses in countries lead by women. The nations of Finland (Samma Marin), Germany (Angela Merkel), New Zealand (Jacinda Ardern), Taiwan (Tsai Ing-wen), Iceland (Katrin Jakobsdottir), Norway (Erna Solberg) and Denmark (Mette Frederiksen) are currently led by women.

In a recent interview, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright reflected on this scenario. These women, she said, bring a number of strengths to this and other crises. She mentioned effective multi-tasking, decisiveness, active listening, cooperation, problem solving and the intentional avoidance of self-aggrandizement.

We know another woman who has those qualities, Whitney Williams, a Democratic candidate for Governor of Montana. Whitney’s professional life also reflects an extraordinary level of smarts, innovation and success. Go to her website to learn more: Whitneyformontana.com.
