NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women are 51% of the population, but are underrepresented in our state governments, as only 33% of legislators across the U.S. are women. Nonprofit organization Vote Run Lead trains women to run for political office and win. With data-driven methods, Vote Run Lead has developed a visionary strategy for achieving a fair and reflective democracy in every state. This plan is presented in a NEW web-based resource: "Charting Paths to a Women's Majority" (womensmajority.org).
