During its 54th Annual National Convention in St. Louis June 4-7 the National Federation of Democratic Women elected Lovie West of Mississippi as president for the 2025–2027 term.
“Together, we can protect vital programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP, and fight for equitable education in every zip code,” said West during the convention which was hosted by the Missouri Federation of Democratic Women.
Founded in 1971, NFDW is the oldest national women’s organization officially affiliated with the Democratic National Committee (DNC), holding two seats on the DNC Executive Committee. Today, it represents 33 federations across the United States and Puerto Rico.
