Free Candidate Training

Vote Run Lead is bringing candidate training to the Southern Tier to host a nonpartisan political leadership training for women right here in Binghamton on Friday, May 13 and Saturday, May 14th.  Women who are thinking about running in the future are welcome. Also, for the first time, training for campaign managers. Although focused on NYS, Pennsylvania residents and other from out of state are welcome. The sessions are free.

Vote Run Lead is an organization tirelessly dedicated to helping women run for office, and win, with local NY leaders including Senator Samra Brouk, Representative Rodneyse Bichotte, our own Binghamton City Council member Angela Riley! Launched in 2014, Vote Run Lead has reached tens of thousands of women — nearly 60% of whom are women of color, and 1 of 5 of whom are from rural America.

On Friday night, May 13 and from 9-4 on Saturday, May 14th, Vote Run Lead will host the training session at the Holiday Inn.

FOR INDIVIDUALS: And we want you there!

FOR PARTNERS: Can you help spread the word by using this toolkit to put it on your social media sites and in your newsletter?

The agenda: you will have FREE access to a powerful program that includes a track for women who are running for office right now, a track for women who plan to run after 2022, and, for the first time ever, a track for women interested in becoming campaign managers. Learn more and sign up here


Rest assured all COVID protocols will be in place. I am also excited to share that travel scholarships, childcare stipends, language and ADA accessible support are also available.
