* The Caucus's policy is to endorse candidates based on their experience, viability, and support of women's issues -- not just on gender. Endorsements are not made for candidates who face no opposition in a primary. Endorsement of candidates for statewide office are not made by this chapter; the Kentucky Women's Political Caucus reserves the right to do so.
