The Women Who Decide: Supporting Households, Shaping Elections

​As voters and household decision-makers, women over 50 will shape 2026, even as many face mounting financial pressures.

​Ahead of the midterms, AARP is hosting a reception to share new findings from its latest She’s the Difference survey on the economic priorities of women 50+. The conversation will focus on what the numbers actually show, including retirement confidence, Social Security, healthcare costs, and the everyday pressure of rising expenses, and why it matters politically.

​Not a policy seminar, just smart conversation, tasty treats, and espresso martinis to keep the ideas flowing.

Speakers include:
- Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI), Co-Chair, House Democratic Caucus on Aging and Families
- Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI), Congressional Joint Economic Committee
- Nancy LeaMond, Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer, AARP
​- Kristen Soltis Anderson, Founding Partner, Echelon Insights
