Gary Cooper and Richard Hartgrove, community leaders and supporters of the project, could not have summarized the effort better:
The Sisters United Alliance (SUA) is adding Travis County to the list of counties in Texas where they are targeting registered but unlikely-to-vote Democratic-leaning women voters. While several groups are working hard to get voters to the polls, they usually do not spend resources to specifically target these registered but inactive voters. We are very impressed with the success the Sisters United group is achieving with their data mining and reaching out to motivate these voters around issues that are important to them. A fundraising PAC, Texas Women Vote, was formed to raise the funds needed to expand this work into more counties in Texas. We hope you will find this effort worthy of your time and treasure and that you will encourage anyone else who may be interested in this fight to throw out the Trump trash in November. We are excited about this group and will donate $5,000 to the Travis County effort. The copied section below shows results of SUA's efforts in Harris County (Houston) in the 2016 and 2018 elections. We think you’ll be as impressed as we are. Texas Women Vote just successfully raised substantial donations to expand the Sisters United Alliance efforts into Bexar County (San Antonio). We heard about this group from our friend Robert Kevin Brown, who has lived in Austin but now lives in San Antonio; he was involved in raising the money to launch the San Antonio operation. If you would be interested in hearing more about the group, there is a zoom meeting each Tuesday in September at 5:30 CDT where you will be able to learn more about their mission and techniques and the election successes they have achieved.

In 2016, Sisters United Alliance (SUA) designed and implemented a plan to use data mining and proven campaign strategies to identify, educate, and motivate more women to exercise their voting superpower. This PAC targeted a likely group—women who were already registered and who, with timely education and support, could become active voters.
The results of the SUA efforts? In the 2016 elections, 85,000 low-propensity women voters were identified and directly reached by SUA so that 37,000 of these women actually voted.
In 2018, SUA expanded their reach to a total of 9 counties in the Houston area and even more potential voters. SUA identified 122,257 households of registered women with two or more voters with an eye toward increasing voter participation of the entire household. Executing the same plan, nearly 44,000 of the targeted women voted! At least three Democratic campaigns were won by the margin of new voters and the number of Democratic voters generally increased in all races. As one impressive example, in CD7, 51% of women reached by SUA voted in that race, and 72% of those voted for the first time. Also, every judicial race in the Houston area had the margin of victory increased by SUA voters.
