Tracking Women Candidates at the Polls

Are you hoping 2018 will be another Year of the Political Woman? (And no doubt, you’re backing up that hope with your vote, campaign donations and maybe even a little phone banking!)

You can keep tabs on the record number of women candidates running for public office by checking the Election Watch page compiled by the Center for American Women and Politics. For decades, CAWP has been the go-to source for dependable data on women in politics at all levels of government.

Want a quick snapshot of how the nation’s 601 women candidates for Governor, House or US Senate are faring in the 2018 midterms?

Check out the Women Candidate Tracker. It’s a collaboration among Politico, CAWP and the Women in Public Service Project at The Wilson Center.
