Thinking About Running for Office?
We’re committed to increasing women’s representation.
We educate voters on the women’s rights credentials of candidates. We’ve made progress, but have a long ways to go. Women currently make up 26.7% of Congress. Thirty-four percent of women serving in Congress are women of color. Women make up 34.3% of our New York State legislature, putting New York 16th in the rankings of representation in state legislatures.
