As one of the most powerful African American women in American politics today, Maxine Waters yields respect from both her allies and adversaries. (Dowd 8/22/83) As a member of the House of Representatives, who holds great command, Ms. Waters has a obligation, one might say a calling, to truly serve her constituency, to fight their struggles, to raise consciousness regarding the state of American society today, and to lend her constituency hope.

Educating and Engaging Voters: As the organization’s goal is to involve all eligible voters to exercise their voting rights, hundreds of local volunteers are mobilized to register eligible voters and provide information about the election day. Volunteers visit local community colleges, schools, sporting events, and naturalization ceremonies to provide educational materials regarding candidates at Federal, State, and Local levels. In addition, the League hosts candidate debates and forums around the country (League of Women Voters, 2015).

It is only recently, all things considered, that women are playing larger roles in the United States political system. However, there is still a large gap in gender representation between men and women. Some women, like politician Wendy Davis, are working diligently to close this gap and represent issues important to women. Despite the progress that is slowly being made, there are still large issues that face women in politics today, and under the scrutiny of the public eye it can be difficult for women to prove their readiness for leadership roles (though this should not be the case). In this paper I will be analyzing Wendy Davis' campaign for

The National Women’s Political Caucus (NWPC) introduces Ariana Ayu as their most up - to - date Executive Board Member to this growing 43 - year group whose objective is to take on, coach, and elect competent women politicians (wtrf.com, 2015). In 2014, NWPC supported Alison Lundergan (Kentucky), Senator Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire), and Senator Kay Hagan (North Carolina) as the running candidates for the US Senate. In addition to that, NWPC also supports Terri Sewell (Alabama), Ann Kirkpatrick (Arizona), Heidi Hall (California), and Rosa DeLauro (Connecticut) as the candidates for the U.S. House of

With the current presidential elections approaching soon, there is plenty of political activity going on in our communities. Many people follow the presidential elections and listen to what these candidates have to say, however, there are other elections going on in our own communities that also have a big impact on us. We sometimes tend to forget about our local candidates and at times ignore what they have to offer for us. I, myself, am able to relate to this. I decided to take action and go out to a local community to do voter registration with the hope that people would not only register, but also go out on November 8 and vote.

Females of the United States are in despair because lover man Bernie is married. One Madam whom we met at the ‘rejected by Bernie counseling’ exclaimed in tears, “He flirted with us through his campaign. He made us all think he wanted us.” Indeed, the Sanders campaign had many romantic undertones that could easily be interpreted as flirting. He claimed that he would take care of women till they die. He also said that he would take care of their children’s college. Kay (17) said, “If that doesn’t sound like a man wanting to be my daddy I don’t know what does.”

What motivated conservative women into political activism between 1980-2008? What organizations and networks did they form? What were their central issues?

At exactly nine o'clock, I heard the strike of the president’s gavel at my first Noehren Hall Senate meeting. I immediately noticed the familiar and bubbly personality of Madi Stahl. Coincidentally, I previously bumped in to Madi several times during Welcome Week. We talked about our majors and common interests from high school. However, through all of our interactions, she never once brought up her highly regarded position. That is what makes Madi unique; she’s just a genuinely kind student, who happens to be excellent at her job.

I would vote for Joe Biden for president, if he does decide to run. There are multiple reasons that Joe Biden is the best candidate for the 2016 presidential election. One huge reason that Joe Biden is an amazing candidate is because he has ample experience in politics, and law. He went to law school and became an attorney before politics, so he will understand laws and be able to make smart educated decisions on problems. Joe Biden also ran for president before so he knows what it takes to win, and he knows what mistakes he made, so he can fix them. He was the U.S. senator for Delaware for 36 years, and he has been the vice president for the last 6 years.This gives him a lot of time and experience dealing with politics, so he will be able

Observing women in leadership positions that came before her, like Dianne Feinstein (D-CA),, and Susan Molinari (R-NY),

She sat at the back of the classroom, rapping the pencil against her teeth. For all her natural grace and casual elegance, her eyes clearly burned with a fire so fierce it seemed to be growing brighter by the minute. In short, Patsy Mink was thinking. Thoughts of Hawaiian nights filled her head, the soft breeze and starry skies as vivid as ever, though what she was concentrating on were the voices in the background. She had been young in this particular memory, though it was stirring enough to stick with her. The noise was that of a political rally, with groups of people huddled together to shout and scream for their favorite candidate. Patsy remembered thinking how important it all seemed, how involved people had been, and such passion filled her now as a candidate for her high school’s student government. As she thought of that night more deeply, she suddenly found what she had been looking for: an answer. Coalitions! That's how she would do it. Being a Japanese-American, and a woman nonetheless, would be a difficult obstacle to overcome as a student politician in post-Pearl Harbor America, but if she could appeal personally to specific groups, she might just be able to pull it off.

Benjamin Katz came up 5 steps on “How to Run a Political Campaign” which could be very useful for those who aren’t sure where to start. Step 1: Get the Right Tools for your Political Campaign: it’s pretty straight forward, you look at today’s society and see what people are looking at and using the most. So with the technology we have today is what everyone uses so it is a great way to put yourself out there to be heard, whether it is through social media, the internet news websites or the television it is what our society looks at the most. Step 2: Hiring Your Campaign Staff: any successful business associate they have a great team standing behind them helping them every step of the way from budgeting what needs to be done to promoting what that individual is running for. The campaign staff also doubles as their mobilizer, again, getting them heard. Going door to door, putting up election signs. Step 3: The Campaign Budget: The first part of this is having to sit down and set a budget for yourself to make sure everything goes smoothly. Katz includes that they should have three different budgets built: “Must have, Like to have and Luxury.” I agree with how important these truly are because in life in general you should break things down into these three very important categories so you don’t have an excessive amount of things or things you simply don’t need. Step 4: Determining

Campaigning is working towards a specific goal. The two movies I have chosen to compare and contrast are The Campaign, and The Last Hurrah. In some cases, the goal may be small but in the movies I chose, the goal was in fact being elected so it was pretty large. There are many different types of campaigns and each one has a different outcome. Some of the outcomes may be positive and others will be negative, it’s all about the approach in a tough election. Even though Campaigning may mean capitalism, Different types of campaigns reach out to potential voters and In person campaigning works well.
