Right here in Ohio 34 women were elected for office, a new record. Erica Crawley is one of six Central Ohio candidates who grew passion to run after attending the 2017 WOmen’s March in DC.

“We came away from the march feeling very positive and energized. We came back really dedicated to doing more.”

Though women have made strives, overall women only make 28 percent of Congress, 25 percent in the Ohio Statehouse.

We still have more work to do ladies!
