“I realized that the biggest barrier for women candidates was not a lack of good ideas or a lack of experience, but a lack of money.”

“Early money is like yeast, it makes the dough rise.”

“What we learned is that you have to ask women to run. They don't just decide on their own.”

“When women vote, women win.”

“If we want to have a government that looks like America, we have to get women in office.”

“We need to make sure that women's voices are heard at every level of government.”

“The goal was simple: to elect pro-choice Democratic women to office.”

“You can't win if you don't run.”

“We were trying to change the face of power in America.”

“We have a lot more work to do, but we are on our way to take our rightful place in the halls of power.”
