Our Mission
Our Mission
Electing Women Wisconsin gathers like-minded donors to support Democratic women running for public office across the country and in the state of Wisconsin. We exist to both close the gender giving gap in politics and to break down barriers for women running – and winning – in public office.
Our goal is to build a committed network of donors to provide critical support for women candidates when they need it most. Members gather regularly to meet with candidates – incumbents and non-incumbents – in small, intimate settings to discuss politics and policy and to exchange ideas.
Our Work
In 2024, EW-WI is focused on re-electing Sen. Tammy Baldwin and supporting pro-choice Democratic women running in competitive state legislative races. With the energy around women candidates in the 2024 election, and abortion as a pivotal issue in this election, we’ll help turnout for Sen. Baldwin and President Biden. For more than a decade, the Wisconsin Legislature has had the most gerrymandered legislative maps in the country. Due to the historic election of Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasewicz in 2023, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has declared the previous maps unconstitutional and this year, Democrats have a chance to take back the majority in the Assembly and Senate and address the current abysmal 30.3% female representation in the Wisconsin State Legislature.
Our Impact
EW-WI in conjunction with its Steering Committee members will choose which candidates we support, provide briefings for our community on the background of the candidate, overview of the race, and other relevant details, and host and facilitate events for our network to connect with supported candidates. Members of EW-WI will also have access to national calls hosted by the Electing Women Alliance that feature the 2024 candidates our groups support as well as experts in the political arena.
By supporting women candidates in competitive races up and down the ticket, we can make a lasting impact on the future of representation in Wisconsin.
