Everybody has to roll up their sleeves.”, who are pushing the same populist policies Molina championed for so long, albeit with a more progressive slant?Martinez gave her a sip of water.
“I am followed by unbelievable women,” Molina said. “Some of them are not my first choice, but at the same time, they’re powerful. And hopefully, they’ll get the message that they can do things and that they don’t have to accept what lobbyists say, and they don’t have to accept what the guys say, but move forward.”
