More women may be running for elected office in the United States as a result of the Women’s March on Washington. The march in the U.S. capital took place one day after the inauguration of President Donald Trump. “I never thought about running for office before,” said Lisa Perry of Florida. “All those women inspired me.” Perry is considering running for city council, a local office, where she lives in the southern state of Florida. She and Theresa Darlington helped organize residents from their Florida community for the Women’s March on Washington. Those taking part filled three buses. The two women supported Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, for president. Both were upset and worried after Republican Donald Trump defeated Clinton in the election. But they were inspired to see so many women opposing Trump’s policies. An estimated 500,000 people took part in the march. Both women are angry that Trump is ending some of former President Barack Obama’s policies on the environment, immigration and health care. “I want to do whatever I can to be most effective and that might mean running for office,” Perry said.
