History
Smart Girl Politics, SGP, started as a blog in July of 2008. In November of 2008, Stacy Mott, Founder and President of SGP, placed a help wanted ad on her blog asking for conservative women to join her in a new conservative women’s movement. Within a week, she had 60 emails from women who wanted to get involved.
Once the group made the decision to remain with the name that started it all, Smart Girl Politics, they grabbed the name in every form they could find on the internet. Finally, a home was found on their community website www.smartgirlpolitics.ning.com where one of the fastest growing and hottest organizations on the internet began to take shape. Many of the women in leadership positions for SGP were some of those first to respond to the ad, including Co-Founder and Executive Director, Teri Christoph.
Mission
Smart Girl Politics is committed to providing a conservative community for women to express their opinions and ideas in an open and welcoming environment. SGP is dedicated to reaching out into the community to engage, educate, and empower conservative women to take a more active role in politics. We strive to strengthen support for those political candidates demonstrating a keen and unapologetic commitment to our conservative values. We will support conservative women in all levels of government from local to national seats and will provide encouragement and resources to ensure their success. And finally, we will debate and develop clear positions that encourage conservative activism in order to counter the negative activity of popular culture that is often found in the main stream media.
