The National Women‚Äôs Political Caucus is a nonpartisan group that works to get more women elected to public office at the local, state, and national levels. The caucus supports female candidates for office, raises women‚Äôs issues during campaigns, and works to get women appointed to policy-making positions in political parties. The organization publishes a quarterly newsletter, Women‚Äôs Political Times, which reports on political issues from a feminist perspective.
