Fewer Women (and Men) Are Running for Congress

“Vice President Kamala Harris is making history as just the second woman to lead a major-party presidential ticket – and, notably, the first Black woman and first South Asian. But lower down the ballot, fewer women are running for office this year,” CNN reports.

“After several election cycles that saw a record number of female candidates make bids for Congress, the decline across both parties and chambers is striking – especially among Republicans.”
