Women Running For Office Project

The purpose of Women Running For Office Project is to explain and elevate the platforms of progressive candidates – many of whom are running for the first time – this upcoming 2018 election season. Search by state or candidate for information on where she stands on the issues, her professional background and why she’s running for office in the first place.

For many of these candidates, media coverage is minimal (until they win) so I want to get their messages out there now so perhaps voters in those districts can read about some of the incredible women looking to represent them in November. Along with candidate positions on issues, you can find voter information for their respective states, including where to vote and what to bring with you on Election Day 2018.
