Drawing on her experiences in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, where she worked with Kurdish women fighters to combat ISIS, Shelane emphasizes the power of an independent swing vote and the need for strong, principled leadership. With her unique background and commitment to electoral reform, Shelane offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional two-party system, aiming to unite Americans across the political spectrum. Tune in to hear about Shelane's groundbreaking role in a pioneering military program, her pursuit of dual degrees from Harvard, and her captivating vision for revitalizing American politics.
