Women Running for Office: Bootcamp 101

About

The goal of Women Running for Office: Bootcamp 101 is a nonpartisan pilot project to provide participants with an overview of the possibilities and the process of campaigning for an elected office. 

According to the Ohio Capital Journal (2020), women are represented in only 29.5% of elected office holders in Ohio counties although women comprise about half of the workers in the United States.

Bootcamp 101 is designed to dispel the myths of running for and holding office, to provide information for women who may consider running for office, or women who want to work on campaigns or advocate for other candidates. The presenters are women who have experience in the electoral process, campaigns, running for and/or serving in offices in Ohio.
