Earlier this month, Melissa had the opportunity to be on a panel at the BlogHer 2012 Conference about Latinas in Elected Office.  Melissa talked about the key role social media plays in engaging with her community (Thanks followers!!) and beyond. It was a great experience conversing with like-minded politically active Latinas. Oh, and did we forget to mention that President Obama spoke via satellite?
