Ready. Set. Run.

Lillian’s List Foundation is dedicated to building a powerful pipeline of women prepared to run for elected office at all levels of government.

Building a Future Where Women Lead

We’re building a North Carolina where every woman can fully and freely participate in political and economic life.

“I am a proud Lillian’s List alum and am thrilled to see Lillian’s List focus on electing more women to local government offices. I was first elected as a county commissioner in November 2008 and am currently serving in my fourth 4-year term. From 2017-2018, I served as President of the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, and now I serve as Chair of the only all female Board of Commissioners in the state.”

Jane Campbell

“As a retired Naval Officer, I never imagined running for public office, but was keenly aware of the need for change at the General Assembly. I attended a Lillian’s List training and found my voice and the courage to run for House District 98. Now, I make a difference by serving my community as Mayor Pro Tem.”
