Congratulations to Lulu Flores for winning the democratic primary for HD 51!

Tonight we won the Democratic nomination for State Representative, District 51! I want to thank my opponents who are all critical members of the HD 51 community, and who ran on important issues. I'm also grateful to every supporter, volunteer, and donor who has made this victory possible. Together, we will win this race in November and take the fight to the Legislature. Mil gracias!

Congratulations to the NEW Leadership Texas Class of 2021. This year was virtual which allowed our cohort to meet 250 students from 14 states. I know this cohort will continue to do amazing and wonderful work and I can't wait to see what the future holds. It was an honor for me to meet these wonderful students and as usual am inspired and reassured to know that our Texas women are such fabulous leaders. This unique 2021 summer institute is bittersweet for me as I am retiring in 2 weeks. I trust you all will continue to support each other and network like crazy. ~Love to you all, Nancy Minger-Ewert

STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES! The Center for Women in Politics & Public Policy is one of three Centers that comprise the Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership. The Institute is dedicated to preparing women to take on successful roles in business and public service to ensure women have the education to establish careers as successful C-suite executives, the skills for building entrepreneurial businesses and the framework needed to run for public office.

One of the programs the CWPPP has partnered with to educate college women is PLEN. The Public Leadership Education Network (PLEN) is the only national organization with the sole focus of preparing college women for leadership in the public policy arena. PLEN’s mission is to increase the number of women in top leadership positions influencing all aspects of the public policy process. Women who have participated in PLEN programs have gone on to be leaders in congressional offices, federal agencies, nonprofits, and advocacy organizations.

The CWPPP will provide scholarships to pay the registration fees for PLEN seminars for graduate and undergraduate college women throughout Texas.
