The Republican National Committee announced Wednesday it is launching an initiative “designed to advance the role of women within our party.”
Chairman Reince Priebus will help kick off the initiative at a news conference on Friday in Washington along with a handful of female lawmakers, including Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Diane Black (R-TN), and Lynn Jenkins (R-KS).
The initiative is called Women on the Right UNITE and was described in a news release as “a joint project to promote the recruitment of and support for Republican women and women candidates.”
The news conference will follow a strategy session at RNC headquarters, where committees and elected officials will discuss “how to better engage and support Republican women,” the news release said.
