Julia Louis-Dreyfus to 'shine the spotlight' on female governors at DNC convention event [View all]

Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s next starring role will be at the Democratic National Convention, hosting an event aimed at highlighting the “essential leadership” of female governors.

The former “Veep” star will headline a daytime panel next Wednesday at the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) convention in Chicago, which is poised to feature eight Democratic governors, including Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

“I’m honored to host this conversation with America’s Democratic women governors while our party comes together to celebrate in Chicago,” Louis-Dreyfus said in a Tuesday announcement about the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) Women Governors Fund event. News of Louis-Dreyfus’s participation in the panel was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

“Throughout their time in office, Democratic women governors have made history, changed the conversation surrounding women in executive roles, and gotten big things done for the good people of their states. They’ve shattered marble ceilings and demonstrated excellent leadership,” Louis-Dreyfus said.
