Run For Her WV

A Nonpartisan Toolkit for Women in Public Service

Leadership starts here.

West Virginia women make up over half of the population, yet they hold just under 12% of state legislative seats. Run For Her WV exists to help change that, by equipping women of all backgrounds, and experiences with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to pursue public leadership.

Created by the West Virginia Women’s Alliance (WVWVA), this free downloadable toolkit offers a comprehensive, nonpartisan guide for any woman ready to take the next step, whether that’s running for office, serving on a board, or launching a community initiative.
