“IBEW 191 is deeply committed to promoting excellence in the electrical industry and improving our members’ lives. One of the ways we do this is by partnering with mission-focused organizations like NWPC-WA and using our strengths and resources to ensure women have a seat at the table at all levels of government. As we celebrate our spirit and solidarity and honor the work done by our predecessors, we continue to build a diverse workforce fighting for everyone to have a standard of living proportionate to their skills and integrity."

"Government works best when it is representative of the people. While many assume that gender equity has been reached, the make-up of many of our elected bodies would disagree. This is why I have recruited women to run for Kenmore City Council, and why I am a supporter of the National Women's Political Caucus of Washington."

"As an NWPC-WA endorsed incumbent candidate, it’s an honor to give back to the organization that provided me and so many other amazing women with campaign expertise, financial support, and mentorship during my first race. This all-volunteer-run group works extremely hard to accomplish the mission of parity for women in government and we should all be allies in that effort!

“I can’t think of a better cause to support than helping qualified, vetted women in their election campaigns! We need more women in government at all levels – from Fire Commissioner in a small town right on up to the Presidency. More women in government will bring more practical solutions to the problems our communities face.”

Karen was instrumental in narrowing the gender gap in government representation for women in Washington. A longtime advocate and supporter of women candidates, she spent the last years of her life doing what she loved: supporting women running for office.
