Women make up less than a quarter of all elected officials in the United States. That’s because research shows that women aren’t as likely to run for office on their own – they need someone to ask them to do it.
Women’s Campaign Forum has launched the She Should Run campaign to give women the push they need to get in the race.
We’re recruiting 1,000 pro-choice women to run for office during the next election cycle. Our non-partisan organization will help these candidates develop their campaign skills and work to ensure they have the resources they need throughout their campaigns.
Can you think of a “PTA mom” who should run for school board? A community leader who should run for city council? A businesswoman who should run for legislator?
