Who is Her Term?
Her Term is a collaboration to elect women. We are passionate about the character and impact
of female leadership. Our experience across the political spectrum makes us uniquely equipped to recognize potential leaders, find the right role to match their capabilities, and provide them with the resources to run for office—and win.

Founders
Her Term was founded in 2017 by Jina Sanone and Renitta Shannon in order to find a solution to a pressing problem of our times: the lack of progressive women in our state government. Their vision to create a political landscape where progressive women are running and winning have directed Her Term to focus on intentional recruitment through a data-driven approach.
In the summer of 2021, Renitta formally separated from Her Term. Jina still remains active in the strategic operations of the organization.
