Our focus is women over 45 from fields that are largely underrepresented within policy-making bodies -- health, science and technology, finance, energy and environment, international relations, and small business. The 2012 Project is a project of the Center for American Women and Politics, a unit of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.

Also in the works:

• Early fall: Another Run Women Run candidate forum to kick-off the fall political season.

Run Women Run spent 2009 building a foundation and recognition, so we are well-positioned to make a difference in the upcoming mid-term elections. We plan to endorse and make financial contributions to progressive, pro-choice women candidates. We are a state political action committee and are able to contribute in state races such as assembly and state senate and a few local races.
