Never before in the history of our country have we needed more women in Congress. Women’s Reproductive Rights are being dismantled as is our sacred Democracy. 2022 is a must year to ensure Women take the lead in protecting and restoring our Republic and ensuring that Women maintain their basic human rights. 2020 elections were a positive step forward for Women but we must elect more women going forward.
Women make up 27% of Congress with 24 Women Senators and 144 Congresswomen now serving in the 117th Congress, although 51% of the US population are Women! We have made great strides but we have a long way to go to reach parity. 2022 is our chance to significantly increase our numbers with a record number of women running for office.
California Women now represent only 27% of our state legislature, with 23 women in the Assembly and 15 women in the Senate.That is not good enough given 51% of likely voters in California are Women! We rank 18th in the country in this category. 2021 gives us yet another opportunity to increase women’s representation in state and local government.
Women hold 9 Governor seats which must change. It is imperative for Women to occupy more Governor seats as they wield significant power over issues such as abortion and gerrymandering. The same goes for State legislatures.
We believe in the power of the purse. Men have historically donated to political candidates in greater numbers and in higher amounts than women. While we are over half the population we account for less than a third of all candidate donations. In order to increase our representation, we need to do a better job funding women candidates.
The WPC collectively, and all of our members individually, are passionately committed to using our voices and resources to elect women candidates at all levels of government who support reproductive rights, pay equity, and human and civil rights.
