  • Track 1 (Ready to Run) focuses on running and winning a campaign through fundraising, marketing, networking, and political strategy.
  • Track 2 (Ready to Advocate) focuses on bringing about change through voter engagement, issue advocacy, and service on nonprofit, corporate, and government boards.

Ready to Run showed me there was a network of support and that even being a mom, a business owner, and a full time worker, I could still make this happen.

Ready to Run® is a national network of nonpartisan campaign training programs to address women’s underrepresentation in American politics. Ohio’s program follows the curriculum developed by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
