Women LEAD Hosts Record-Breaking Reception

On Monday, July 20, 2026, Women LEAD MN PAC welcomed its largest crowd to date for an evening supporting Republican women running for office across Minnesota. We thank our gracious hosts, Allyson Hartle and Robert Cattanach, and the many Women LEAD endorsed candidates (including Michele Tafoya and Lisa Demuth) who joined us to share updates from the campaign trail.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Women LEAD provided additional financial contributions and campaign resources to help our candidates succeed. We appreciate everyone who attended and look forward to seeing you at our next Women LEAD event this September (details coming soon!).
