In every election, there is always a certain 'group' that is supposed to be the key in determining the outcome. As we move closer to November, many believe that 'suburban women' will be the key in the upcoming midterms.
"It's a big election for everybody, but suburban women are facing a lot of the problems that are the most important" said Tommy Pigott with the RNC, "For example, how to make ends meet and feed a family, how to find a job that actually pays wages that are keeping up with inflation, crime in our communities, and schools."
The list of issues is even longer than that, which is why most Democrat candidates are avoiding debates with Republicans. Instead, they are resorting to name calling, playing the Trump card, and of course their big hope is that they can sway voters with abortion.
"I do not" said Lisa Alpe, who is a mom as well as a Spring Branch ISD Trustee, "It's the economy stupid, and I just think that kind of phrase is very applicable right now. Maybe in other years, the abortion issue might have been higher on the list."
The bottom line is, women are extremely motivated to vote.
"I don't think it's limited to just suburban women" Alpe told KTRH, "I do think that women in general are more in tune to how life in America is affecting their families."
And as a result, you are seeing Republicans picking up midterm momentum, just like we saw last year in Virginia.
"We're seeing really across the board with suburban women, a movement towards the Republican party" Pigott told KTRH, "Because across the board, Republicans and the American people, want safe streets, they want safe schools, they want jobs that keep pace with inflation, and Democrats have been on the opposite side of the American people on all of those issues."
