Under the leadership of DebbieWalsh58, CAWP_RU maintains an extensive database of women officeholders—”we’re talking about every woman state legislator who’s ever served, going back to the late 1800s.'
on its website—a database of resources for women interested in elected or appointed political positions at the state or national level.
The idea, Walsh continued, is “not hitting them over the head about the gender piece, but it’s, ‘Oh, here’s a state legislator who is a woman.’ That’s what it’s all about—very much the Marian Wright Edelman quote, ‘You can’t be what you can’t see.'” As essential as those “outside” roles are, in the home and education, for instance “we need to be disrupting at every level,” and importantly, from positions of political power.
At the state level, “executive positions have been a kind of a really a tough nut to crack,” said Walsh. “We’ve not gotten over nine [women governors] serving at one time. You know, this is a year to watch because there’s 36 governorships up, and we have on the Republican side, a record number of Republican women running, not a record number of Democratic women running. We will see some pickups for sure.
