NWPC endorses progressive, pro-choice women candidates nationwide.
If you are considering running for public office, the National Women’s Political Caucus might endorse you. Learn why this is important and how to apply.
In every election cycle, candidates seek political endorsements from individuals and organizations that can offer their campaigns credibility and visibility. NWPC is one of those prominent organizations. Securing such an endorsement can help you gain trust from voters and donors.
What is a political endorsement?
A political endorsement is a public declaration of support for a candidate from a person or organization with authority or influence. Endorsements matter because they show that a candidate’s values are supported and approved by others. Endorsements also help candidates convey their alignment with significant causes, such as women’s rights.
If a candidate is endorsed by NWPC, we feature the candidate on our website and sometimes help those candidates with training, financial support and volunteers. Find out how to apply below.
