I carry a whiteboard in my purse because you never know when good oversight will be needed.
As a former teacher and professor, bringing a whiteboard to Congress felt only natural.
It ended up being an incredibly useful tool for breaking down the math behind all sorts of issues, and helped me connect Washington with the lives of my constituents.
You too, can whiteboard anyone, at any time. Here's how to do it:
- Work backward: Determine what you want your lesson to accomplish.
- Let the whiteboard speak for itself: It's a visually engaging tool, so utilize it. Draw a chart or graph. Hold off on simple bullet points.
- Control the conversation: In Congressional Hearings, we only have a few minutes to question a witness. That means really utilizing your questions.
- Don't fear silence: No explanation needed.
- Be fearless: Accountability is a good thing.
I carry a whiteboard in my purse because you never know when good oversight will be needed. And if I'm elected to the U.S. Senate, I'll serve on double the committees. That means double the whiteboards, and most importantly—twice as many opportunities for accountability!
Chip in a few bucks to help send me and my whiteboard to the Senate.

Thank you!
