Join CAWP for Election Night | |
|
On our 2022 Election Results Tracker, we’ll be tracking all the women who win races for governor, Congress, statewide elective executive office, and state legislatures. This tracker will compare total numbers of women winners by level of office to both the number of women currently serving at that level and the records for women officeholders for that level of office. There will also be additional data on women winners by race and ethnicity, party affiliation, and incumbency. Follow CAWP on Twitter on election night and the following days to get the latest information about records and learn about the women that have broken barriers in election 2022. Lastly, CAWP will continue to release results for women candidates until every race is decided, so stay tuned as we report out the story of women candidates in the 2022 midterms.
