The Women’s Caucus is the official voice of women within the Erie County Democratic Party. The caucus elevates issues affecting women, advises the party on policies and priorities, and supports women who run for office, but its work is not limited to traditionally “women’s work.” Members organize around the candidates, causes, and community priorities they choose, because a woman’s place is wherever she damn wants it to be.
