Elaine Marshall

Running for Senate, NC

Elaine Marshall is running on a platform that includes financial reform and job creation, two issues that are top of mind for citizens of North Carolina today. As North Carolina's Secretary of State, Marshall has solid experience addressing both of these issues.

This seat is currently occupied by incumbent Senator Richard Burr. Current polls show that Burr is perceived as out of touch with the North Carolina electorate and will be vulnerable this election. Marshall’s first hurdle will be the Democratic Primary where she will face at least two opponents. With the strong and enthusiastic backing of the North Carolina Women’s Political Caucus, no doubt Elaine Marshall will be victorious!

Jennifer Brunner

Running for Senate, OH

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is running against Lee Fisher in the May 4 Democratic primary for Senate. This is an open seat being vacated by retiring Senator George Voinovich, and recent polls show the race in a dead heat. While Fisher holds a fundraising advantage, Brunner is expected to be the stronger general election candidate. She would face off against Rob Portman, the heavy favorite to win the Republican nomination. One of Brunner’s strongest advantages is the support and enthusiasm of the Cincinnati Women’s Political Caucus.

Jennifer became Ohio’s first woman to serve as Secretary of State when she was elected in 2006. She distinguished herself both in Ohio and nationally with successful efforts to make the state's elections free, fair, open, and honest. One of Jennifer's most significant accomplishments as Secretary of State was to overhaul the operations of the troubled Cuyahoga County Board of Elections in Cleveland, ensuring a smooth 2008 presidential election.

Terri Sewell

Running for Congress, Alabama's 7th District

Sewell is an early frontrunner but is taking nothing for granted and plans to make the best use of her family’s roots in the district (both parents are well known schoolteachers) to run a strong community based campaign. 

Running in a crowded primary with two main opponents – one is the son of a former member of Congress and the other is a county official.  Lack of name ID has not kept her from running an extremely effective fundraising program and a strong grassroots campaign.  She is a strong feminist and received endorsements from all the major women's organizations.

Anne McLane Kuster

Running for Congress, New Hampshire's 2nd District

Ann Kuster is running slightly ahead of her opponents in the September 14 Democratic primary election. She put together a very tight and energetic campaign and earned the endorsements of many community and labor leaders and women’s organizations. Her campaign acumen should come as no surprise to Caucus members as her mother, the late Susan McLane, was a longtime member of the National Women’s Political Caucus and chaired the NWPC Republican Task Force for many years. This is an open seat and the winner of the Democratic primary has a slight edge; President Obama won this district with 56% of the vote.

Betsy Dennigan

Running for Congress, Rhode Island's 1st District

Betsy Dennigan is putting together a very competitive grass roots campaign effort in her race against anti-choice incumbent Jim Langevin. Betsy’s qualifications as a registered nurse, an Attorney and a 13 year veteran of the Rhode Island Legislature will serve her well in what will be a hotly contested primary on September 14. Because this is a heavily Democratic district, the race will be decided in the primary. In 2006, Jennifer Lawless ran a good but ultimately unsuccessful race against Langevin. She is now helping and supporting Dennigan.
