“A record number of women will serve in statehouses next year”:
A record number of women will serve in statehouses around the country after the 2020 election, according to new data.
At least 2,236 women will be state lawmakers when America’s legislatures return for their next sessions, according to an analysis released this month by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University (CAWP), which tracks women’s political power in state and federal offices.
