"The best part of politics is the team." - Maryam Monsef

Referring to your team as your "Kitchen Cabinet" is from Maryam Monsef's keynote speech on March 6th at the WR Women's Campaign School.

Want to support women, trans, and non-binary folks looking to run for political office in Waterloo Region? Throw your name in here as an expression of interest!

Here's what I'm thinking:

I'm putting together a database of people in the area who want to get involved but don't know how. My hope is that this can connect people with potential candidates at all political levels who need to put together a team.

Phase 1:
- A basic database in an Excel sheet

Phase 2:
- A website to support a longer term solution with features like - a searchable database open to local female, trans, and non-binary candidates, an FAQ section, a position posting function, candidate profile highlights, volunteer profile highlights, etc
