WAND endorses WAND and WiLL members running for Congress: 2002

Why women?

Our analysis of the past three congressional sessions indicates that women vote more progressively than their male counterparts in each party.

WAND endorsement allows candidates to advertise our recommendation, and we encourage our members to work for them!

WAND's Political Action Committee (PAC) collects and distributes money to some of these women.

To contribute, you must be a member of WAND.
(Click here to find out how to join WAND. )

When making a contribution, please include your occupation and employer's name with the check. Federal election laws require WAND PAC to report the occupation and employer of all contributors donating over $200 in a calendar year.

Please note that political donations are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
