About

Lillian’s List is committed to building a pipeline of progressive women candidates and staffers ready to run, win and lead at all levels of political leadership.

We have trained 665 potential candidates since 2011. In addition to candidate and campaign staff training, we recruit new women candidates committed to reproductive freedom and equality for women to run for office in North Carolina.

Our network includes more than 8,000 women and men from across North Carolina committed to recruiting, training, and funding viable women candidates. We have a candidate scout network of more than 300 members statewide. In the past two decades, we have identified over 800 potential progressive women leaders. Together we are changing the face of power in North Carolina.
