Just a few months after women made history during the 2018 midterm elections, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton celebrated International Women’s Day with a challenge for her followers. In a pair of Friday tweets, Clinton urged more women to run for office, and highlighted a few resources that could help them do so.
» We know that when women run for office, they’re elected at the same rate as men, » Clinton tweeted. « But not as many women run as men — often because people don’t ask women to run as often as they ask men. »
» So think of a woman you know who should run for office, » Clinton added. « Then take a moment today to ask her to do it. Tell her she’ll have help from @emergeamerica, @emilyslist, @runforsomething, and you. With one question, you could start something pretty big. »
The former secretary of state’s challenge yielded a variety of responses from her followers, with some of them encouraging her to run for a president a third time.
