About NWPC
Who is the National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC)?The NWPC is a multi-partisan, multi-racial grassroots organization with caucuses in 38 states. Those state members have input into the endorsement and policy decisions through their elected regional representatives. Local and state caucuses hold regular public meetings, policy forums and endorse candidates locally. The NWPC is the only multi-partisan, membership organization that supports pro-choice women candidates for elected and appointed office.

Why do we only endorse women candidates?
Women are historically underrepresented in policy formation and discriminated against when running for office. Women typically come to politics to solve a problem. They come as moms, nurses, and teachers. They don't usually come with same monied and influential networks that men do. The Caucus exists to overcome and then solve those problems by leveling the playing field.
What does NWPC offer candidates?
We conduct basic training for candidates, campaign workers and volunteers and for women who just want to learn more about the political process. We offer both basic and advanced training. We recruit women at the local level and provide campaign and leadership training for women. The Caucus offers leadership training for girls (between the ages of 12 and 14), and specialized campaign training for younger women (ages 18-35) and women of color. The Caucus also offers corporate training and international orientations and training.
