Minnesota Women's Political Caucus is looking for Board Members

About MWPC



The primary purpose of MWPC parallels that of NWPC - increasing the number of elected and appointed women in office. This has been done by targeting, endorsing, contributing funds and volunteers, working to publicize women's campaigns, and encouraging members to serve on campaign committees. The screening, endorsement and funding of candidates is carried out by a separate Political Action Committee (PAC).
MWPC also lobbies on issues of concern to women, and provides a variety of programs for the purpose of informing and energizing its membership. It also pubishes a quarterly newsletter, Caucus Times. Since 1979, MWPC has maintained an office with part-time staff. It was a founding member of the Minnesota Women's Consortium, where it continues to be a political resource and supporter of Consortium activities such as its annual Women and Girls Come to the Capitol.
