This cycle we’re doing things a little differently. From now on, we’ll also be announcing our endorsements on our Women and Politics blog which allows our membership - the driving force of this national network - to weigh in. We’ll then be highlighting individual candidates, so you can learn more about the woman behind the endorsement and help shape their WCF experience.
