Event Description

In addition to the amazing organizing work of Stacey Abrams in Georgia and the election of the first woman vice president, 141 women have been elected to Congress—breaking the record number of 131 female lawmakers in 2019. As of November 23rd, 410 women have won races in state legislatures, and at least 21 women won statewide executive office. More women ran for office nationwide than ever before.
