And since President Trump\u2019s election in 2016, more than 36,000 women have reached out to Emily\u2019s List, a political action group that promotes female candidates, to inquire about running for office.\r\n\r\nEmily\u2019s List had only 920 such inquiries during the 2016 election cycle, a spokeswoman for the group told USA Today.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, statistics compiled by the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics indicate that women donors are responsible for nearly one-third of the money contributed to 2018 congressional candidates; that\u2019s up from 27 percent in the last midterm election \u2013 in 2014.\r\n\r\nThe mushrooming numbers of female candidates and donors constitute good news about the health of American democracy, a sign perhaps that despite partisan gridlock in Washington and many statehouses -- and an epidemic of cynicism about politics in the general public -- substantial numbers of Americans aren't ready to give up on the system. The USA Today report notes that record numbers of men also are running for office this year.\r\n\r\nAt least a few candidates are relying mostly on women for their financial support. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY; Elizabeth Warren, D-MA; and Tammy Baldwin, D-WI; along with Reps. Bonnie Coleman, D-NJ; John Lewis, D-GA; and Liz Watson, a Democratic candidate in Indiana, report that more than half of their campaign donations have come from women.\r\n\r\n\u201cThese are record numbers, and it\u2019s consistent with the sense that there\u2019s rising momentum for women on a number of fronts in this election cycle,\u201d said Sheila Krumholz, director of the center.\r\n\r\n###"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
