"Our endorsed candidates represent more than qualified, electable women candidates. They are leaders for both the present and the future with the ability to create the changes that our region and country need," said Jamie Quient, co-chair of the Run Women Run's Political Action Committee.
"We know that having more women in elected office enhances the discussion and leads to better outcomes. For example, it was the women in Congress who led the resolution of the recent federal government shutdown."
"In order for our country to move forward, we need a government with a critical mass of women's voices to set the agenda. Through our support efforts at Run Women Run, we hope to start this shift locally and create a momentum on a larger scale."
