“I have done this while being the mother of 4 young children, ages 10, 8, 5, and 2.  When I started in the legislature, I had 2 children. All they have ever known is that “Mommy makes laws and helps people.”  That is their normal.  I had my third child between legislative sessions and my fourth actually during the third month of our four-month legislative session.  I had him on a Thursday and was back to work on Monday, baby in hand on Tuesday to introduce him.  I had a lot of work to get done that couldn’t wait.  I was the first sitting legislator to give birth during a session in Montana.” – MT Rep. Kim Dudik

“My advice to those that ask me how to be a good mother and professionally successful, is to believe in your own strength, be resilient and at all times be cognizant to be the mother you want your son to be proud of.”- NJ Freeholder Melissa DeCastro

“NFWL supports mothers everyday, from supporting elected women who are mothers themselves or simply represent mothers in their communities, to our own employees. Flexible work hours and supportive colleagues have made a huge difference in the transition to work as a new mother” – Brenna Kehew Sculley, NFWL Policy Director
