About Women Winning
Our Mission
We are changing the face of power by activating pro-choice campaign operatives, candidates, and elected officials who are committed to reproductive health, rights and justice, and working to protect the safety, dignity and bodily autonomy of Minnesotans.


Our Vision
Our vision for Minnesota is a state where the bodily autonomy of all people is protected at all levels of government.
Our Values
Our Values
Safety
Dignity
Inclusivity

Our Work
A Lasting Impact
We recruit, train, endorse, and elect pro-choice women to all levels of public office, who bring unique perspectives and drive positive change.
Who we elect matters. From Park Board to President of the United States, elected leaders make decisions that expand reproductive rights. Pro-choice women are our best advocates and their voices must be heard at every level of government to protect our bodily autonomy and dignity.
We are meeting the current moment, championing reproductive freedom in an era of increasing anti-choice extremism.
Women Winning is committed to breaking down barriers that prevent women — especially BIPOC women, LGBTQ+ women, and women with disabilities — from engaging in the political process. Women Winning ensures pro-choice women have the tools and support to run successful campaigns — and win.
Our History
A Lasting Legacy
When a bipartisan group of 25 women established the Minnesota Women’s Campaign Fund in 1982, only 14% of Minnesota legislators were women. Recognizing the urgent need to elect a more representative government, our founders gathered in living rooms and around kitchen tables to organize early support for pro-choice women candidates. Encouraging women to run, recruiting volunteers, and getting involved in campaigns across the state, the organization continued to grow in size and scope.
In 2007, we became Women Winning and today are Minnesota’s largest and most influential women’s political organization. Women Winning has trained and endorsed thousands of pro-choice women candidates across the state and for all levels of office, and has more than tripled the number of pro-choice women state legislators, county commissioners, and mayors. We’re not slowing down — pro-choice women continue to rise up to run for office, and Women Winning will be with them at every step on the campaign trail.

A Lasting Impact
We’re only just getting started on our journey
