Mosemarie Boyd currently serves as head of American Women Presidents and its affiliated national political action committees dedicated to electing women to the U.S. presidency.

Founder of these political groups, Boyd has led a national campaign to elect women to the U.S. presidency—and positions in the pipeline to the presidency—since 2000.  Boyd believes that a woman will be sworn into office as President of the United States on January 20, 2009. 

Advocating bipartisanship in the campaign to elect women to the U.S. presidency, Boyd has directed American Women Presidents’ biennial campaign to support Democratic and Republican women running for governor and U.S. Senate—positions in the pipeline to the presidency. 

For the 2004 presidential election, Boyd worked to recruit Democratic and Republican women, including Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, now Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and many other congresswomen, governors and cabinet heads to run for president. 

Glad that a nationally-known candidate stepped forward to run, Boyd launched Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun’s presidential campaign at media events in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina on President’s Day weekend in 2003.  Boyd helped kicked-off the Braun campaign on C-SPAN’s The Road to the White House with Amb. Carol Moseley Braun. 

Boyd’s efforts to promote women for president have won widespread media coverage, including several national TV interviews.  Boyd promoted Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison for president on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor in 2001 and endorsed now-Sen. Elizabeth Dole and Sen. Dianne Feinstein for vice president on CNN’s Inside Politics in 2000.

In addition, Boyd has worked in the U.S. Senate for Senator Dianne Feinstein and in the U.S. House of Representatives for Congresswoman Corrine Brown and volunteered for women running for Congress in Iowa and New Hampshire.  Boyd has worked for the U.S. Government, worked abroad in Europe and Asia, and traveled widely.

At Oxford, Boyd studied Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s leadership.  Boyd earned a bachelor’s degree with honors in American Civilization from Brown University and a master’s degree in National Security Studies from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown.
