RightNOW Women PAC Releases
Final 2017 Candidate Endorsements

Ready to start strong fundraising push for 2018 candidate class

RightNOW Women PAC is proud to support and endorse the following candidates for the 2018 election cycle: Marsha Blackburn (U.S. Senate - TN), Beth Lindstrom (U.S. Senate – MA), Carla Nelson (MN-1), Jenifer Sarver (TX-21), and Leah Vukmir (U.S. Senate - WI).

“I am so grateful to have the support of RightNOW Women PAC, a group that will make a big difference in my race against Senator Elizabeth Warren,” says Beth Lindstrom, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate from Massachusetts. “I will offer something new because Senator Warren’s routine is getting old, it’s getting worse, and it’s getting us nowhere. And the people of Massachusetts deserve more. No one contributes more to the negative dynamic in Washington than Elizabeth Warren. If we want a new tone, then we are going to need a new senator. I am honored to have the support of the strong women of RightNOW Women PAC.”

“I’m honored to receive the support of the RightNOW Women PAC,” says Jenifer Sarver. “It’s time to bring new voices to Washington and elect people who are committed to solving problems and working together to move our country forward. This seed funding will be instrumental in my campaign to reclaim core Republican values and restore civility and respect to the political process.”

“I sincerely appreciate RightNOW Women’s PAC’s support as I work to unseat liberal Sen. Tammy Baldwin next year,” said U.S. Senate candidate and Wisconsin State Sen. Leah Vukmir. “Just as I have in Wisconsin, we will fight together to promote free markets, individual responsibility and limit the size and scope of government.”

RightNOW Women PAC endorsed candidate wins special election

RightNOW Women PAC congratulates Congresswoman-elect Karen Handel on her victory in Georgia’s 6^th Congressional District outside of Atlanta. The June 20^th special election was held to fill the seat vacated by Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price. 

“We are excited to welcome Karen Handel to Washington as part of the growing cadre of Republican women,” says RightNOW Women PAC Board Chair Jennifer Higgins. “After supporting 100 percent of the Republican women running for Congress in 2016, we are proud to have endorsed Karen in this important 2017 race.”

Bourbon & Blooms Event was an incredible success

 July 24, 2016

Cleveland, Ohio – RightNOW Women PAC is proud to announce that our “Bourbon & Blooms” event at the Republican convention in Cleveland was an astounding success.

Members, supporters, and special guests arrived on Tuesday evening at a real-life donut shop to be escorted through the faux industrial kitchen door to find themselves inside of Cleveland’s newest club, Magnolia. Guests mingled around a larger-than-life metal magnolia tree with the dee-jay and two bars, while some enjoyed the outdoor patio on a beautiful summer night.

Wearing RightNOW Women PAC pins, guests were eager to talk about the importance of supporting women candidates.

Cleveland’s entertainment scene is abuzz with activity as the 2016 Republican Convention fast approaches. One of the hottest new venues coming to the Flats East Bank section – a speakeasy called Magnolia – is surprisingly hidden, which is part of what makes it such fun. 

To get to Magnolia, you walk through a small store-front that sells – of all things – made-to-order donuts. Once past the shop, the space opens up to a 4,000-square-foot club with 20-foot ceilings, a steel magnolia tree and walls  decorated with colorful graffiti art.
