Elect Women 2012 - the latest from the 2012 Project

Currently, the U.S. ranks 94th in the world for the percentage of women in Congress. Only 17% of congressional seats are held by women. In fact, the 2010 election marked the first time in 30 years that the number of elected women decreased. That's why we're posting information for interested women to learn more about women candidates and how to help them win. Go to the MissRepresentation webpage and check out the links to the 2012 Women's Election Tracker to find women running in your area, volunteer opportunities with candidates, and resources for your own future run.    Tune in This Week Watch PBS' To the Contrary today and Saturday to see an interview with the 2012 Project founder, Mary Hughes. Check your local listings for the time. Thanks, Ed Show For highlighting the need for more women in office and for mentioning The 2012 Project's work to prompt talented women to run. The headline?  Don't Get Mad; Get Elected. We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Long-time NWPC Supporter Runs for Congress

NOTE FROM JULIA:

I just wanted to let you know that I was endorsed by EMILY’s List yesterday and I’m so excited to have their support.
From the press release:

“Julia is a strong progressive running an exceptional campaign and we are thrilled to put her ‘On the List’,” said Stephanie Schriock, President of EMILY’s List. “Julia has been an effective advocate for environmental protections, affordable and accessible health care, and education during her time in the California State Assembly, and her continued leadership is exactly what is needed to get things done in Congress. EMILY’s List candidates like Julia are leading the way towards taking back the House in 2012, and we are proud to stand with her campaign during this historic year.”

Will you join with EMILY’s List and support my campaign by contributing $25, $50, $100 or any amount today?
At a time when women’s health is being used as a political football in Washington, it’s vital that the residents of Ventura County have a Representative in Congress who knows what she stands for, who will be an unwavering advocate for women’s rights, and who has the experience and the track record of solving tough problems.
Help send me to Congress so I can stand up for women’s health by making a contribution to my campaign today.
You know where I stand. Please stand with me.
