The volunteer work Ginger has pursued throughout her life she defines as the turning points which helped fuel her passion for advocacy. She found that, \\u201cThe best jobs I have ever had never paid me a dime.\\u201d

\\xa0

Before pursuing public office, Ginger found value in the feedback from those around her and that \\u201cThe only reason I can do it is because I have the support of other people.\\u201d

Assuming many different roles in society as a woman can be challenging. From Ginger\\u2019s experience, she stresses, \\u201cIt really doesn\\u2019t matter what we do, we are going to come under heavier scrutiny for that.\\u201d
