By the numbers: More than 15,000 women have contacted She Should Run — a nonpartisan organization dedicated to recruiting and training women to run for elected office — since last November.

"It's about building the pipeline," Erin Loos Cutraro says. "If we want to see equity for women in government in our lifetime, we have to have record-breaking election cycles in the next few cycles to come," she says." We know this isn't going to happen overnight, but we cannot let off the gas right now."

Founder and CEO Erin Loos Cutraro says this new crop of political talent is “sick of not having their voices and perspectives represented” and recognizes “the impact they can make at all levels of government.”

This year, thousands of women have said they want to run for office. What’s motivating them? In partnership with She Should Run and VoteRunLead, we surveyed 750 female potential candidates to find out.

On Saturday, October 14, at 8 PM, Provincetown Dramatics Arts will present a benefit reading of "An American Daughter," Wendy Wasserstein’s prescient play about how partisan politics, the press, and personal relationships impact the nomination of a woman seeking a top governmental position.

"Erin Loos Cutraro, CEO of She Should Run, a nonpartisan group, says while the overall pace of adding women to elected office is too slow — women, after all, comprise just under 20 percent of Congress."

“As leaders working to strengthen our democracy,” Cutraro said in a press release. “It is our duty to provide the pathway for women today and tomorrow who are stepping up to serve their communities.”

"'We have been overjoyed with the surge of women who have stepped up to say they want to run for office since Election Day,' She Should Run founder and CEO Erin Loos Cutraro told CNN."

“At current rates, it will take over 100 years to achieve equal representation,” Erin Los Cutraro said...“That is unacceptable, and 250Kby2030 will change that.”

"'Now we need to take the next step to transform that number into the over 250,000 women candidates needed to have women’s voices fully represented on ballots across the country,' said Erin Loos Cutraro, founder and CEO of She Should Run"

Since Election Day 2016, over 15,000 motivated, engaged and qualified women who want to run for office have joined She Should Run, a nonpartisan group aiming to inspire more women to run for office.

She Should Run is launching a radical campaign to achieve gender parity among elected officials by 2030..."We're really taking advantage of this surge and saying, 'Now is our chance to build this path,'"
