WOMEN'S CAMPAIGN SCHOOL

This is a great opportunity for women and even men who are considering running for political office sometime in the future. In the political arena women lag behind and realistically should make up 50% of elected officials, however, we don't and this has to change. I have run in a number of elections as an Independent and have a pretty good idea of how campaigns work but I'm going to take the course this year and I suspect I will learn things that I haven't considered before--JLH.
