Nevada voters pass the most comprehensive state equal rights amendment in the nation, & more in the latest Weekend Reading on Women's Representation:
“No other midterm election has seen as much money at the state and federal levels as the 2022 elections,” said Sheila Krumholz, OpenSecrets’ executive director. “We’re seeing record-breaking totals spent on elections up and down the ballot.”
As an immigrant, the granddaughter of Palestinian refugees, and a Muslim woman who wears the hijab, or Islamic headscarf, the road to political office hasn’t been easy, especially in the very Christian and conservative South. Romman built a grassroots campaign, knocking on over 15,000 doors, sending over 75,000 texts, and making over 8,000 phone calls. Her opponent openly used anti-Muslim rhetoric, but her win shows a path away from hate and bigotry, towards a more inclusive Georgia and nation. Georgia ranks 36th out of 50 states with a D grade and score of 17.4. In terms of women’s representation in state legislatures, Georgia ranks 20th in the nation, with women making up 34% of the state legislature.
Before the election this month, the highest percentage of women Colorado’s Legislature had was 48%, at the start of the 2019 session. It decreased to 46% by the end of the session, and back down to 44% in 2020 and 2021, according to the at Rutger’s Eagleton Institute of Politics. In the 2022 session, it rose back up 1 percentage point to 45%, making the 2023 session the highest, at an anticipated 51%.
