Women could pick up two gubernatorial seats in 2025, but 6 of 12 current women governors can’t or won’t run for re-election in 2026. I wrote about it for @forbes. www.forbes.com/sites/kellyd...

Mia Love has died. Love was the first, and to date only, Black woman Republican to serve in Congress. She was also the first Haitian American elected to Congress.

Upon her swearing in, there will be 26 women senators, matching the record, and a new record high of 10 GOP women senators. The last time a woman represented Florida in the Senate, the Billboard number one song was Walk Like an Egyptian.

Women’s representation in Congress has declined for the first time since 2011. @amandabecker.bsky.social explores why, with insights from CAWP's @kdittmar.bsky.social. Read more in @19thnews.bsky.social: 19thnews.org/2025/01/the-...

Today, Kelly Ayotte was sworn in as governor of New Hampshire, leading to a new record for the number of women governors serving concurrently. With Kristi Noem nominated for DHS secretary, this number will likely soon return to the prior record of 12. cawp.rutgers.edu/facts/levels...
