"Run Women Run is well-positioned to make a difference in the 2010 mid-term elections," said President Michelle Burton, managing partner of Shoecraft Burton, a civil litigation law firm. "Since our inception last October, Run Women Run's membership has grown to more than 200 of the most prominent and forward-thinking women from San Diego's business, professional, and political communities.

"We focus on identifying, mentoring and financially supporting progressive, pro-choice women candidates."Founded in 2008, Run Women Run inspires, identifies, mentors, and supports qualified pro-choice San Diego women who run for office or seek appointed government positions.
