FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB) June 08, 2018 -- Kim Olson, Democratic nominee for Texas Commissioner of Agriculture, has announced that she and Joi Chevalier, Democratic nominee for Comptroller, are hosting the inaugural WomenWin Conference in Fort Worth, June 9-10, 2018. The conference is designed to help first-time, women candidates run successful, healthy, safe campaigns. Conference attendees are women, Democratic, Texas nominees in local, state, and federal races.

“Women are running for office across the country in record numbers, and that is especially true in Texas,” said Kim Olson, Colonel, United States Air Force, retired. “In light of this, we decided that we could help our sisters best by hosting a conference to give them the tools they need to run winning campaigns. The Texas women who win today will pave the way for the next generation of Texas leaders.”

The conference will specifically support Texas Democratic Party women nominees running for office this year, and the agenda was designed to help the candidates navigate a variety of challenges on the campaign trail. In addition to workshops and conversation, Beto O’Rourke will speak to the group to share his insights.

According to conference organizers, WomenWin will be the largest conference of its kind, with 30-50 candidates and their staff attending.

“Women know that when we work together, we can accomplish incredible things,” said Ms. Chevalier. “2018 is our year, and with each race, we have the opportunity to help improve our hometowns, our state, and our nation.”

Conference schedule:
> Reception, June 9, Chimera Brewing Company (now called Fort Brewery & Pizza)
> Workshops, June 10, Hilton Downtown Fort Worth
--- Personal safety
--- Coffee with Beto O’Rourke
--- Health on the trail
--- Collaboration strategies
--- Media training
