If you are a female pro-choice candidate running for the State Legislature in 2008, you can seek an endorsement, and potential campaign resources, from PWCF.

Congratulations on your decision to seek election to Pennsylvania's General Assembly!

The Pennsylvania Women's Campaign Fund is a multi-partisan organization established in 1982 to provide assistance to progressive women candidates for the state legislature. Since its inception, the PWCF has distributed more than $100,000 to women candidates throughout Pennsylvania.

To qualify for endorsement or financial and/or technical assistance from the Pennsylvania Women's Campaign Fund, women candidates are expected to espouse the progressive position on issues affecting the quality of life and human needs, a demonstrated commitment to building a more just society, and sensitive recognition of the concerns of women in the process of social change.

If you are interested in obtaining financial and/or technical support from, and/or endorsement of, the Pennsylvania Women's Campaign Fund for your candidacy, we invite you to complete the enclosed application and return it to me. If you have a primary opponent, I need to receive your application by, February 22, 2008. You must also include information on your campaign, such as your written campaign plan, budget and other printed materials, to qualify for endorsement. Please mail the application and the materials to PWCF, PO Box 621, Lewisburg, PA 17837. A member of the Fund's board of directors will then contact you to arrange for an interview.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Jann Chirdon
Chair, Candidate Evaluation Committee
PWCF Board of Directors
