Representative Jennifer Mandelbaum completes YEO Jordan-Huerta Women’s Leadership Fellowship

Despite significant gains in improving the representation of women in our nation’s political institutions, only a quarter of elected positions in the United States are currently held by women.

Building on the success of the YEO Women’s Caucus and named in honor of PeopleFor Co-Founder Barbara Jordan and longtime Board Member Dolores Huerta, the Jordan-Huerta YEO Women’s Leadership Program will invest in the leadership of women-identifying elected officials.

This program will support women identifying elected officials in the challenges of navigating public office, provide them with continued professional development, and elevate their voices and leadership within the national progressive movement, enabling them to seek higher office and pave the way for more women in political office across the country.
