John xxxxxx, if we haven’t met, my name is Madison Horn.

In 2024, I ran to represent Oklahoma’s 5th Congressional District. I think it’s important to share a bit about that experience with you today:

When I first connected with Her Bold Move, I had already reached out to nearly every major women’s organization in the country. I was running for office in Oklahoma — a state ranked as the worst place in the US for women, with the strictest abortion laws and a staggering 50% of women experiencing rape or domestic violence in their lifetime. Despite this dire reality, my candidacy received little to no support.

It was disheartening. These were organizations with bold mission statements about empowering women. Yet, when presented with a woman bravely running for office in a red state, the response was silence. Time and again, I was left wondering: If the most well-funded organizations won’t stand by their missions, what is their purpose? To just keep re-electing the same women who already won their races in blue states?

That’s why, when I received the news that Her Bold Move was endorsing me, I was nearly brought to tears. It wasn’t just about the endorsement. It was about an organization that believed women in Oklahoma were worth fighting for. It was about an organization willing to live its mission and declare, loudly and clearly: We understand how hard it is to run for office as a woman in your state. We are standing in this fight with you.

What happened next left me even more in awe. The day after my endorsement, four different resources from Her Bold Move reached out to offer media support, social media strategy, volunteer assistance, and seasoned advisors. I couldn’t believe it. For the first time, I felt like I wasn’t on an island shouting into the void about the harsh realities in Oklahoma. Her Bold Move didn’t just endorse me; they supported me.

Their commitment went beyond words or symbolic gestures. In a state where the status quo means accepting the highest rates of rape and domestic violence in the country, Her Bold Move understood their responsibility to change that. They took a stand, knowing this might not be a seat to win this time. They chose bold action over safe bets, proving that their mission wasn’t just rhetoric – it was a promise to women across America.

Her Bold Move’s support was a lifeline for me. They made things happen throughout my campaign that I could have never even imagined before I met them.

To anyone seeking an example of what it means to truly support women, look no further than Her Bold Move. They are more than an organization; they are a movement — and one that I will forever be grateful for.

Please join me in supporting their unbelievably important efforts to uplift pro-choice, pro-WOMEN women running for office nationwide, especially in abortion-ban states, by rushing $20.25 or more today →

Madison Horn
