 Introduction/Candidates by State
 To Celebrate the Year of the Woman Candidate We Are Gathering Basic Introductory Brochures/Flyers/Palm Cards from As Many Women Candidates for Congress As Possible—This Page Focuses Mainly on Democratic Challengers (the "Blue Wave"), but All Woman Candidates for U.S. House are Welcome.
This page launched July 3, and brochures were added as received.  Some pieces are from the primaries.  Materials from missing woman candidates are still welcome.  Thank you to helpful campaigns and citizens!
