GOP On Pace for Record Number of Women Recruits

July 2, 2021 · 11:00 am ET · Leave a Comment

Wall Street Journal: “More GOP women have announced plans to run for House seats in 2022 at this point than in any recent election cycle, feeding confidence that the party is positioned to build on its big gains in sending women to Congress last year.”

“Democrats have long outpaced Republicans in electing women to the House. But GOP women were some of the stars of Election Night 2020, accounting for 11 of the 14 Republican victories over Democratic incumbents.”

“This cycle, 127 Republican women have already indicated they plan to run for House seats. That’s more than double the 50 women at about this point in the 2020 cycle.”
