Letter: Women's forum too partisan

The article encouraging women leaders was terribly misleading ["Effort to get more women in leadership," News, Dec. 3]. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand et al. should have just addressed it, "conservative women need not apply."
The only leaders they are looking to promote are those who vote to re-elect President Barack Obama and those who favor "choice" in reproduction. You can't say they are nonpartisan with that ideology.
I was the first woman commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation for the Town of Islip in 1988, since retired, and I promoted women into nontraditional positions based solely on merit. It appalls me that our U.S. senator used this as a re-election opportunity for her party.
