What's Happening with Council President Natali Fani-Gonzalez

Send us Fan Mail This Woman's History Month, learn about one of the most powerful women in Maryland. She was an undocumented, 16-year-old that could not speak English when she and her mother came to the U.S. from Venezuela. Today, Council President Natali Fani-Gonzalez joins us to talk about how that experience shaped her into a leader who treats public office like a responsibility to use power for the benefit of residents. We trace her path from a student with a love of math and dreams of becoming a doctor to advocacy with CASA, the Maryland Dream Act, and ultimately the top seat on the Montgomery County Council.
