The First Ask is dedicated to identifying, elevating, and empowering democratic women to lead in State Legislatures across the country. By actively supporting these progressive women, we fight for a more inclusive and representative democracy.

We know that often women need to be asked to fill positions of leadership. By working alongside grassroots activists, community leaders, and you all, we will identify future leaders across the country.

With your support – we will do just that.
