Conservative Women Gather in Dallas for Young Women’s Leadership Summit

Dallas, Texas – Hundreds of young conservative women gathered in a Dallas conference hall on Saturday to attend the Young Women’s Leadership Summit. The event, hosted by conservative podcaster Alex Clark, aimed to rally support and encourage traditional values among its attendees.

Clark, dressed in pearls and a miniskirt, energized the audience with her call for a new direction: “Less Prozac, more protein. Less burnout, more babies. Less feminism, more femininity,” she declared, igniting cheers from the crowd. The summit has seen growth over the years, evolving from a gathering focused on brunches and prayer circles to a platform for political influence.

The conference comes on the heels of Trump’s recent presidential victory and a shift in the voting patterns of Generation Z women. Recent polls show that although many young women generally leaned Democratic, a significant number voted for Trump in the last election, primarily from concerns over economic issues rather than social topics.

Vivian Chamberlin, a 19-year-old bank employee from Alabama, shared her frustration with the Democratic Party’s focus on social issues. “Their values just fell off with the younger generation. They didn’t talk about economics, which is what resonates with us,” she said, emphasizing the challenges of affording basic living expenses.

Jordan Schwartz, a student chairman at Harvard’s Public Opinion Project, noted the unexpected results among young women, stating that they did not become more Democratic during this election cycle. “We have to recognize that young women didn’t become more Democratic this time,” he said.

At the summit, many women expressed their desire to find stability in traditional lifestyles. Dana Hohlfeld, a 23-year-old from Wisconsin, remarked on the need for a return to values that prioritize family and faith as opposed to the stress of modern life. “I think a lot of women our age are turning more traditional,” she stated.

This younger generation, influenced by pandemic isolation and economic instability, seeks a clear path forward, often looking to conservative ideals for guidance. “We’re not running from culture, we’re running it,” Clark proclaimed to the crowd, emphasizing the confidence and burgeoning influence of conservative women.

As the Women’s Leadership Summit wrapped up, the attendees reflected on their place in the evolving political landscape and the importance of their voices moving forward.
