- About Us
- In September of 2008, 23 women from around the Commonwealth gathered at former Virginia Attorney General Mary Sue Terry’s farm in Patrick County. The focus of this group of high-powered, accomplished women was straight-forward: to recruit, support and elect Democratic women to ALL levels of elected office in the Commonwealth of Virginia. And the goal remains nothing less than to change the political landscape in Virginia, and the Nation.
