Recommending candidate and campaign staff training led by Lillian's List
Coming in April, a virtual training for campaign staff, open to all genders
Lillian’s List teaches progressive women who are champions of reproductive freedom how to run, win, and lead in North Carolina! Lillian’s List is a the only organization that provides 360-degree support for progressive women running for office in North Carolina—primarily the NC House and Senate, and also Council of State positions (Governor, Lieutentant Governor, Treasurer, Secretary of State & a few more).
I have been involved with Lillian’s List for about 14 years now, as a supporter, board member, and candidate. Lillian’s List training empowered me to say “yes” to running for the appointment to the NC Senate Seat that unexpectedly opened up mid-term in 2013 when Ellie Kinnaird retired. Though I was disappointed that I didn’t get the appointment, I was happy that another excellent Lillian’s List supported candidate did, incumbent NC House Representative Valerie Foushee, who has served in the NC Senate with distinction and is now running for Congress.
Lillian’s List’s has taught powerful candidate and campaign staff trainings for years. Lillian’s List identified qualified campaign staff as a critical need in our progressive electoral infrastrucure, and have worked diligently to create trainings to fill this need.
There are important training opportunities coming up soon! Here is the information from Lillian’s List:
