Supporting Women in Office
The CWLA Political Action Committee is a separate 527 entity that endorses and supports candidates for state and local office, with a special focus on developing and promoting viable women candidates who share CWLA’s principles. CWLA PAC believes in smaller government, individual freedom, and economic opportunity through free market principles.
CWLA PAC Endorsements
A CWLA PAC endorsement is highly prized by candidates and appointed leaders as a way to demonstrate support from a statewide organization of politically active women and men. Each endorsement is carefully reviewed and decided upon by the CWLA PAC Board of Directors (Executive Committee).
We are no longer accepting November 2024 Endorsement Questionnaires.
I’m interested in being endorsed by CWLA PAC!

Political Training Program
The Marian Bergeson Excellence in Public Service Series
The Marian Bergeson Excellence in Public Service Series is a highly-regarded, competitive program that seeks to increase the number of Republican women in elected, appointed political, volunteer, and staff positions at the local, state, and federal levels. As a result of the Series’ broad scope and access to those in government and politics, Bergeson Scholars benefit from training, mentoring, and a greatly expanded network of political relationships.
The Marian Bergeson Excellence in Public Service Series does not endorse candidates nor does it make candidate donations.
