Rep19 is a community for elected women and activists. We exist to serve the needs of the women who serve us all. Through curated networks, we help progressive women retain their seats, advance their agendas and build long-lasting political power.
Rep19 connects state and local women officeholders to share experiences, solve problems, and ultimately find ways to become the best public servants possible. From seminars on how to advance legislation, to facilitating interactions with allies and key leaders, Rep19 helps elected women build long-lasting political power. Rep19 also engages women activists in support of elected women.
Through online gatherings and statewide events in person, Rep19 facilitates meaningful connections among elected women with one another and also their supporters. In these closed session meetings, Rep19 women are able to share best practices and find solutions on how to create meaningful change.
Much of the amazing work happening in local communities by elected women is siloed. Rep19 surfaces these achievements and shares them with the world. By sharing best practices, we also help elected women solve problems and advance their agendas.
There is no playbook for public office. Rep19 amplifies on- the-job learning by providing members with access to panels led by nationally recognized thought leaders, elected officials and experts. Examples include seminars on how to combat online harassment and best practices for the first 100 days of office.
For five Fridays in a row, Rep19 will be hosting webinars with prominent elected officials, campaign experts and political thought leaders. These webinars are free and open to all progressive elected women. A select few will be open to women activists. Register here now.

Efforts to build women’s political power have historically ended at the ballot box. After the votes are counted, elected women are left alone to figure out how to succeed within opaque, antiquated, male-dominated political systems. Worse, these women often face sexist environments and sexualized harassment.
Rep19 curates networks that enable elected women and their supporters to connect, share best practices and ultimately build long-lasting political power.
Whether you are a women elected official, activist or male ally who understands the importance of equality in our electoral system, Rep19 has a place for you. See below for ways that you can get involved. We hope to hear from you.
