The Ocasio-Cortez win last night is yet another example of a trend this year … when Democrat Women run, they win!
That’s a pretty strong representation of Women on the Dem side. Not so much on the Republican side. But even better, there this …
That is wild. Women are winning 71%(!) of their races under those circumstance. And even in Republican races, they are winning 35%. Which is promising given they are only represented in 16% of the races.
I sincerely hope this trend continues, for both parties. We need to elect more women!
It means women are more equally represented in government. In the 2017 congress, women only make up about 20% of all members. That number needs to increase.
And personally, I think men have had their chance and it’s time for women to have more of a say. Can’t be any worse than what the old white men have done before them.
