Ready to Run™ Pennsylvania

Ready to Run™ Pennsylvania provides non-partisan political training to encourage women to run for government leadership positions. The day-long program targets women considering or recently deciding to run for political office, providing training and mentoring by campaign professionals, political women, and officeholders.

Ready to Run™ Pennsylvania is part of the Ready to Run™ National Training Network of the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) at Rutgers University (NJ).

When I decided to run for Congress, I was a newbie – I’d never even considered running for anything before then. What I knew was that I needed practical, nonpartisan advice from smart people who understood intimately what I was going through. I’m so, so grateful to Ready to Run for helping me when I needed it most.
— Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan
