National Women’s Political Caucus Online Audio Campaign Training

Join NWPC today to get immediate access to this online audio guide to a winning campaign. This online course is an exclusive benefit for all current NWPC members.

The National Women’s Political Caucus supports pro-choice women running for elected and appointed office. Although the female population in the United States has been greater than the male population since 1946, women have always been underrepresented at all levels of government. In most state and national elected-office categories, women are represented at around 30%, but they are sometimes more successful in local elections.

NWPC focuses on recruiting, training and electing women, regularly holding in-person training sessions. This online training course is meant to help women who cannot attend 2–3 day trainings. They can still receive the information they need to run successful campaigns.

The course includes the following audio training modules along with downloadable materials and worksheets to help progressive candidates prepare to run—and win—successful campaigns for public office.

  • Chapter 1: Deciding to Run
  • Chapter 2: Announcement Checklist; and Getting Started, Jobs for Friends
  • Chapter 3: Image, Voice, and Confidence
  • Chapter 4: Diversity in Your District
  • Chapter 5: What’s in a Campaign Plan; and Budgeting
