She outlines the false claims George Santos has made about his biography, family background, and education. She also discusses how she cares for her well-being amid a dynamic and intense environment like the political arena and shares her future goals.   “The one thing I’ve learned with time is that you have to cut yourself off at some point; it can wait tomorrow. When the day’s over and you go home, give yourself peace for your own mental health.” - Naysa Woomer   This week on Political Contessa:   The George Santos fiasco and the importance of vetting candidates George Santos’ lies about his education and family background Kellan Curry challenging George Santos in the Republican primaries The difference between George Santos and Anna Delvey Operation Murder Board and attempting to create Congressman George George Santos’ indictment and Naysa’s resignation as Communications Director What’s next for Naysa after serving as a communications director and public servant Kevin McCarthy’s ouster and its implications Matt Gates dealing with Democrats to oust McCarthy Nancy Pelosi and her leadership as Speaker of the House The importance of integrity and leadership in the political arena   Connect with Naysa Woomer:   Naysa Woomer on LinkedIn   Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa   Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.
