Vote Run Lead Action

A majority of states have ZERO moms with minor children representing them in #Congress. Sign up at VRLHQ.org to celebrate #MothersDay! Find out how you can run, and win with our free resources for aspiring candidates and campaign managers. Data from @VoteMamaFdn

Who else has been inspired to #RunAsYouAre by @GirlsWhoCode Founder @ReshmaSaujani? @VoteRunLead can train you to run for office + win! Join the community & get plugged into #VRLHQ to learn more about running for office in an ever-changing world, & engage with other #AAPI women!

It was an honor for #VRL to spend last week in #Washington, D.C., supporting powerhouse orgs. First, we joined @VoteMamaFdn to launch their groundbreaking report, #PoliticsOfParenthood. Then, capped off the week at @CAWP_RU's 50th Anniversary celebration. #WomensRepresentation

Our #Trans, nonbinary & gender non-conforming siblings are under attack. Everyone deserves to live a life of dignity & equality regardless of what bans lawmakers pass! Visit @the_TFP for info about anti-trans (also anti-racial justice) bills impacting us. bit.ly/3pQNGaM

#AAPIHeritageMonth spotlight: Senator @AuforGA, #Georgia's first Asian-American state senator. When her district was redrawn in 2021, she decided to run for the district representing her community in the state House instead, & she was elected in 2022 to serve in HD50. #AAPIMonth

#VRL mini reunion! VRL was happy to see alumnae, including Senators @ZaynabForSenate, @ClareOumou, and @Huldah4MnSenate attending the 11th annual #Minnesota DFL Humphrey-Mondale dinner last weekend in Minneapolis, where fellow alum U.S. Rep. @IlhanMN was a featured speaker! 💟

Today, 34 states have NO #AAPI women in their state senate. Their voices are key to building a better democracy and shouldn't be ignored. Sign up at VRLHQ.org to join the #VoteRunLead community and learn more about running for office in an ever-changing world.

In an interview w/ @wdiowirt news, Beth Peterson, our Sr. State Director for #Minnesota, spoke about our Civic Engagement Forum tomorrow! We're working to enhance #WomensRepresentation & encourage folks to get more involved in politics. Check it out: wdio.com/front-page/top-stor…

In today’s #AAPIHeritageMonth spotlight, we salute the tenacious Rep. Patsy Takemoto Mink (D-HI), the first #AsianAmerican woman in the U.S. Congress, and Rep. Patricia Fukuda Saiki (R-HI), the first Republican #AAPI woman in Congress. #RepresentationMatters #VRLHQ

The future is STILL female! We #spotted our State Directors for #Minnesota blazing a trail as they connected with dynamic women who are ready to run for office, and win! The power of #women is driving transformative change in #MN and we're thrilled to witness it. #VRL

In Minnesota, a progressive future starts now! We 👏 👏 👏 MN legislators, whose just-wrapped 2023 session @GovTimWalz said will "make a generational impact on our state.” Kudos to our fierce VRL alumnae (too many to name in a tweet!). Read MN’s great local news for details.🤩

#AAPIHeritageMonth spotlight: @SamSencerMura is the first Japanese American to serve in the Minnesota state legislature. VRL empowers #women to run for office, & win. Sign up at #VRLHQ to propel your political journey & connect with other #AAPI women. #RunAsYouAre

#Spotted: Our CEO & Founder @ErinVilardi with VRL alumnae @pettersen4co 😍 It was great to hear Brittany speak on @VoteMamaFdn’s panel about the importance of electing more mamas to Congress! #RunAsYouAre #VRL

Our fearless leader @erinvilardi and Congresswoman @RepGraceMeng were spotted after the exciting #PoliticsOfParenthood panel led by @VoteMamaFdn. Women (and moms!) deserve a seat at the decision-making table, and we're so inspired to recruit more of them.

We’re excited to join @VoteMamaFdn in DC for the launch of their groundbreaking research on the number of moms with young children in elected office. This new #PoliticsOfParenthood report shows why we need more mamas in Congress. Check it out! votemamafoundation.org/popco…

We spotted our CEO @ErinVilardi and @CAWP_RU Director @DebbieWalsh58 at the #CAWP50 Anniversary celebration 😍 Big congrats to Debbie and the #CAWP team for over 50 years of excellence in advancing women’s representation, 🎉

Congresswoman @RepBonnie on the importance of women stepping into their power at @CAWP_RU’s 50th Anniversary. “It is important that we show up. It is important that women feel empowered to offer themselves as candidates.“

Women’s participation in public office has grown over the past half century—thanks, in no small part, to @CAWP_RU. We’re excited to join change-makers in #WashingtonDC to honor #CAWP’s incomparable contributions to women’s representation. #CAWP50
