Published: Jan. 14, 2019, 11:35 p.m.

School Board Member Raaheela Ahmed joins us this week to discuss "Soda Tax." Elected to the Prince George's County Board of Education in 2016, Raaheela talks with us about her experiences running for office, what it's like to be one of six Millennials on the county's school board, and why Leslie's experiences grappling with complex policy issues as a new City Councilor resonated with her. We also add the newly sworn-in U.S. Representative Lauren Underwood, the youngest black woman to ever serve in Congress, to our Wall of Inspirational Women.
