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.
