Who should run? You should run!
She Should Run is launching their campaign to sign up 25,000 women to run for office across the country. Women win as often as men when they run for office. The big obstacle, however, is that they don’t run unless they are asked.
2010 has already become a fantastic year in Minnesota for women running for office, from governor to congress, to local races up and down the ballot, there seems to be a strong woman candidate either on the race or considering joining.
But there are still many, many fantastic women who have yet to declare. And even worse, there are even more amazing women who haven’t even thought about it.
So now is your chance — make her think about it. Ask that strong woman in your life to run. Tell her that you’ve always known she could change the world, and it’s now time for her to prove it.
On this page are links to click on. You can ask a woman new to running to get started, or ask a current office holder to reach for an even higher office. Or, you can ask yourself to run and give yourself the push you need.
Need more help? After you nominate her (or yourself) drop us a line. We’ll encourage her, too, and help her see that someone will be with her and supporting her every step of the way.
25,000 women is a large number. But not as large as the number of strong, talented women we know are out there. Pick one, and tell her she should run.
