Honoring the Past,
Continuing the Work.

Electing women. Increasing voter turnout. Strengthening democracy in St. Charles County.

About Us

Rooted in History. Focused on the Future.

The Nineteenth Fund was created with a simple belief: democracy works best when everyone participates and when women have a seat at the table.

St. Charles County has a long tradition of civic pride, yet thousands of eligible voters sit out elections — especially in state legislative races. That's not a party problem. It's a turnout problem.

We're here to change that. We invest early in women candidates, mobilize overlooked voters, and build grassroots power that strengthens our community and our state.

We honor the legacy of those who fought for the right to vote — by continuing the work they began.

Why Women Candidates

Women have always been at the heart of community leadership.

When more women, young people, and families vote, representation becomes more reflective of our shared values. Women candidates excel at the kind of neighbor-to-neighbor outreach that brings people back into the democratic process.

They champion issues that strengthen families and neighborhoods.

They lead with collaboration, transparency, and accountability.

They inspire civic participation — especially among voters who feel overlooked.

Supporting women candidates honors the legacy of those who fought for representation.
