The National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC) was founded in 1973 to support women running for political office. Since then, NWPC has expanded to 38 states with both state and local caucuses. The Orange County California Caucus is one of 17 local caucuses throughout the state of California.

The OC Caucus recruits, trains, supports, and endorses female candidates throughout Orange County’s 34 cities. It also recommends candidates for federal and state office from Orange County’s five congressional districts, five state senate districts, and nine assembly districts.
