In this week’s episode, Jennifer Nassaur dives into an insightful conversation with Krista Moore, delving into the current political landscape and the challenges of endorsing candidates within party lines. They unpack the nuances of primary elections, the potential candidacy of Nikki Haley for the GOP, and the pervasive issues of sexism in politics. Krista eloquently lays out her reasons for supporting Nikki Haley, discussing her past experiences and the leadership qualities that she believes make Haley a truly exceptional candidate for president.

Krista Moore is not only the chair of Women for Nikki in North Carolina but also a recognized leader in corporate America, having retired to focus on her passion for leadership development, particularly for women. Her book, "Race to Amazing," showcases her expertise and outlines the essential characteristics of successful leadership. Having dedicated 100% of her time to volunteering for Nikki Haley's campaign, Krista's vast experience in the business world and her involvement in politics make her a formidable proponent for positive change and the advancement of women in leadership positions.

“It's going backwards and there's chaos and there's drama. And we don't want that. We want to move forward. What's important now is that we focus on that.”
 ~ Krista Moore
