She Should Run
About She Should Run
Based in Washington, DC, She Should Run is a nonpartisan nonprofit on a mission to transform American democracy by dramatically increasing women's representation in elected office. The organization recognizes that women remain significantly underrepresented in political leadership despite their qualifications and capability, and works to change this reality through direct engagement and systemic support. She Should Run believes every woman deserves the opportunity to see herself as a viable elected leader and to understand the critical importance of gender parity in governance. The organization serves women from all walks of life—regardless of background, experience level, or political affiliation—by providing the knowledge, encouragement, and practical support needed to consider public office. Through its community-driven approach, She Should Run combines data-driven content with collective action, creating a supportive ecosystem where women can explore leadership possibilities. The organization's work extends beyond individual empowerment to address structural barriers within the political system itself. By fostering a community of women who support one another's political ambitions and providing clear pathways for taking the first step, She Should Run is building a movement toward equal representation that strengthens democracy for everyone in Washington, DC and communities nationwide.
