 Are you passionate about an issue in your local community? Or maybe you want to campaign to change a national policy? Are you a natural communicator? Or have you considered using your years of professional experience to make the UK a better place to work and live? You may not even have thought about standing, but have you realised that your personal experiences, your interests and your skills would make you an outstanding representative of your community? Affecting change in public life isn't just about being an MP. There are so many ways that you can make a difference. Whether you stand to be a local councillor, at least a crime commissioner, a mayor, or a regional or area officer. Since the 1918 Qualification of Women Act, which gave women the right to stand for Parliament for the first time, we've come a long way and the Conservatives have been at the forefront of that charge. From our local councillors, and the women who are leading our councils across the country, to the energetic and hard-working women MPs who campaign passionately for their constituents and who change laws, from our women cabinet ministers to our three women Prime Ministers. But we need more women's voices, like yours, to be heard in our party and in our politics. We in the Conservative Party are here to support you and your journey to elected office. The fantastic teams at CCHQ, to the Conservative Women's Organisation and to us at Women's Wins, we're here to help you with your mentoring, training and networking. So if what we've said today sparks an interest in you or another women in law, please visit www.conservatives.com forward slash women.
