ADVICE FROM DEBRA BUTTON FOR WOMEN CONSIDERING POLITICS:

“It is crucial that your spouse and family understand what you will be taking on. You need support and buyin from those who will support you win or lose. You need those around you to understand that sometimes the public is very hard on elected officials. It is those in your immediate circle who will help you through those days. My family is truly my best asset; somedays my strength comes from them.”
