Last week, a historic number of women were elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. But it\u2019s not those headline-making victories\u2014like that of Minnesota\u2019s Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress\u2014that Erin Vilardi, the founder and CEO of VoteRunLead<\/a>, <\/span>a nonprofit that trains women to run for office, <\/span>is most proud of. It\u2019s the smaller campaigns that brought change on a local level.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere were these stories about women ousting people who were highly discriminatory, and it\u2019s so inspiring,\u201d she says. One such story happened in-house: VoteRunLead\u2019s national training director, Faith Winter, is a Colorado state representative-elect who ran against her alleged harasser\u2014who himself faced accusations from 11 other women. \u201cShe ended up running for his seat [in the Colorado state legislature] and replaced him,\u201d says Vilardi.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s exactly the kind of movement Vilardi hoped VoteRunLead would spark. Her history with the organization goes back to 2004 when she helped found it as part of <\/span>The White House Project<\/span><\/a>, which worked to increase female representation in institutions, businesses, and government. When that shuttered in 2014, Vilardi turned VoteRunLead into a standalone organization. Since then, she\u2019s helped more than 33,000 women run for office and is planning to train another 30,000 women by 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other organizations that help raise money for or mobilize volunteers around candidates, VoteRunLead is all about providing the <\/span>how<\/em> <\/span><\/i>to women who want to run. Via a training methodology called Run As You Are, the group teaches women the hard skills around campaigning, fundraising, and building a team. \u201cWe believe that women have the skills and talents already to run\u2014we just help transfer them into the political realm,\u201d Vilardi says. \u201cThey\u2019re learning how to craft a narrative, how to deal with sexism and harassment, and all these practical actions that speed up your political literacy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of that training is one- and three-day in-person training sessions at WeWork locations across the country (Vilardi and her staff of six are based in New York City’s WeWork Harlem<\/a>); since the 2016 election, VoteRunLead has been active in 25 cities. The organization plans to expand to 14 WeWork cities next year. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, 80 percent of VoteRunLead alumni advanced in the primaries, and 50 percent went on to win. On Nov. 12, Vilardi celebrated those wins at <\/span>VoteRunLead\u2019s<\/span><\/a> Women & Power 2018 conference at WeWork Times Square<\/a> in New York. \u201cWe really see this as just the beginning of women claiming their roles in government,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women from all over the country attended what Vilardi deemed \u201cRadical Conversations With Barrier-Breaking Women,\u201d including New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, whose name has been floated as a possible 2020 presidential candidate; one of <\/span>Glamour<\/em>\u2019s College Women of the Year<\/span><\/a>, who is planning a campaign for school board; and <\/span>Lauren Underwood<\/span><\/a>, the 32-year-old congresswoman-elect from Illinois and the youngest African-American woman to serve in Congress (and the first VoteRunLead alumna to be elected to Congress). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underwood and Ilhan Omar both attended VoteRunLead trainings. Ilhan did so beginning in 2014 and became a certified VoteRunLead trainer, then won her seat in the state before running for Congress. Underwood attended the Minneapolis training in 2017; during her campaign, her staff viewed VoteRunLead video resources.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As high-profile as the congressional campaigns of those women were, VoteRunLead also helped train Gerri Cannon, one of three transgender elected state representatives; Kim Norton, the first female mayor of Rochester, Minnesota; and Brenda Lopez, the first Latina elected to the Georgia State Assembly. \u201cWe really specialize in local and state offices,\u201d says Vilardi. \u201cAnd we\u2019re nonpartisan\u2014we\u2019re not going to turn a woman away who wants to get a political education.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the organization is turning its focus to local elections, like the 19,000 school-board seats that are up in 2019, and building their state-representative benches. \u201cThere are only so many hundreds of federal seats,\u201d says Vilardi. \u201cBut there are 519,682 other seats across the country.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, VoteRunLead is riding the wave of positivity that came from the recent elections. \u201cI really think people felt really positive about seeing these local wins for women, that it wasn\u2019t just this national handful of women,\u201d says Vilardi. \u201cThere\u2019s a wave of diverse women underneath them coming up and running locally. Everyone keeps calling it an ocean, an ocean of women that\u2019s ready to keep going and keep running.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
