Hundreds of women have attended caucus meetings since January.

“The women of the caucus have worked hard to bring this fundraiser together, and I couldn’t be more proud of the work we have done,” said Representative Carson, chair of the Fundraising Committee. At least 150 people are expected to turn out at the caucus’ first fundraising event, which will include remarks from the Governor and Secretary of State as well as Representatives Carson and Maldonado.

The purpose of the RIDP Women’s Caucus is to “ensure gender equality in our laws, our Democratic Party, and in our government representation. We believe that a strong Democratic Party values and includes the diverse voices of our party.”
