We produce a biennial report that takes a snapshot look at women in Texas politics.
What is political parity?
The term “political parity” means equality for women+ in appointed and elected office. Women make up 51% of the population but only 20% of public office.
Why focus on Texas?
No one knows how many women serve in public office in the United States down to the local level. Texas is the fastest-growing, largest battleground state - making it the best state to analyze.
We're combining never-before-seen data with the power of storytelling to get more women elected
We humanize the stories of women+ involved in politics across Texas. Our features highlight the stories of elected officials, student activists, candidates, party affiliates, and non-profit leaders.
Our novel approach uses grassroots organizing to fill the data gap for women+ in local politics. We enumerate how many candidates file, run, and win local elected office in Texas.
