The Hill:

Women from across six of the Republican party's top campaign committees will gather Friday to launch a new project designed to promote the recruitment of female GOP candidates, as the party looks to repair its image among a demographic that broke 55-43 percent for President Obama in 2012.

The group, dubbed "Women on the Right Unite," will hold a press conference with female lawmakers and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus Friday afternoon at the Republican National Committee Headquarters.

The press event follows a strategy session with participants from the RNC, as well as the Republican Governors Association, National Republican Senatorial Committee, National Republican Congressional Committee, Republican State Leadership Committee, and College Republican National Committee.

Attendees will include nine female members of Congress, including Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, who is running for the U.S. Senate in West Virginia, and Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.)

The initiative is intended to corral resources from across the different campaign committees with the mission of better supporting female candidates and lawmakers within the party.
