Women in Politics is Back

For the first time ever in person, New Jersey Realtors ® is hosting Women in Politics, a candidate training seminar on April 26 focused on helping Realtor ® women take the first steps towards their political journey. While the training is geared toward helping women get more involved on all political stages, all members are welcome to attend the program.

Women make up 66% of New Jersey Realtors ® members, yet there are just a handful of women who have ever been elected to serve on behalf of New Jerseyans on the federal level. And, according to Rutgers, less than half of current serving representatives on the state level are women, clocking in at just 35%.

We know, through experience and research, that one of the many roadblocks women face in their potential political journeys is the uncertainty about what it actually takes to run for office. With the help of some of the most respected people in politics, this training will help you decide if politics are right for you, work on building connections, provide the education you need to get started, and so much more.

There is no better advocate for the real estate industry than New Jersey Realtors ®. As neighborhood experts who sell their towns each and every day, Realtors ® have one of the most unique perspectives that will help their communities make informed decisions.

Politics need Realtors ® like you to advocate for homeownership and private property rights, and this training will help you make sure you’re ready to represent the community you already serve every day.

Maybe you’re not sure if you’re interested in running for office is for you, which is understandable. But, if you’ve ever felt the pull to give more to the community you live in, I urge you to attend the training and see for yourself. I encourage all of you, regardless of experience or expertise to register for this one-of-a-kind training. Register now by emailing Director of Government Affairs, Catherine Best, at cbest@njrealtor. com. I look forward to seeing you there.
