Elect Her is a half-day nonpartisan training for women on how to run for student government & political office. While women make up 50% of the population but less than 1 in 4 elected leaders are women. When women run, they win at the same rates as men- the problem is that not enough women run. Research shows that engaging women early is key to increasing the number of women in public office. While the workshop focuses on women, all are welcome and encouraged to participate. Elect Her focuses on women’s leadership and welcomes all students.
