Do you know a woman who has what it takes to represent her community, make change happen and really make a difference?
Many women who are already making a huge impact still need that “tap on the shoulder” to give them the confidence to run for election. Why not encourage a woman you know who you think can make a difference to get on the ticket and get elected. Feel free to let her know about our training programmes to help get her elected.
Successful candidates always acknowledge that getting elected is a team effort.
A political campaign needs many different skills all working together to support a candidate to run and succeed in politics.
You can play your part in supporting a female candidate to get elected. Think about becoming a campaign manager, helping out with canvassing or use your social media, organisational or fundraising skills to help get your chosen female candidate elected.
Check out www.candidates.ie to find a candidate that you identify with and chimes with your values, and get in touch with them to offer your support.
The Countess Markievicz Circle is a core group of donors who have come together to support Women for Election to achieve our vision of an Ireland with balanced participation of women and men in political life.
How you can play your part in supporting a female candidate to get elected.
