The Year of the Republican Woman

A record breaking year for conservative women and WINNING FOR WOMEN PAC!

In 2018, GOP women watched from the sidelines as a wave of Democrat women were elected. We vowed to make a difference and invested in women like never before. And it paid off!

GOP women dominated the elections this week, making historic gains! We couldn't be more proud of our role in their success. 

 

WFW Action Fund, the SuperPAC arm of Winning For Women, helped fill a big and important hole in the GOP political ecosystem by investing nearly $3 million in key races.

 

This year, it's officially The Year of the Republican Woman.
