Run, Ladies, Run!!!

It's that time of year again.  Candidates will be collecting petition signatures.  Petitions are due on March 11.  Candidates for the state house must be at least 21 years old, reside in Pennsylvania for at least four years, and reside within the district for at least one year.  Candidates for the state senate must be at least 25 years old, reside in Pennsylvania for at least four years, and reside within the district for at least one year.

Pennsylvania has a deservedly bad reputation for electing women, and studies show that women don't run for office unless asked and asked more than once.

So, ladies, consider this the first ask.  Please consider running.

This call is not just to Democrats, but to Republican woman, too.  The more women in office, regardless of party, the better.
