Redistricting pitted a disproportionate number of female legislators against their male counterparts
... The gender question is going to be a factor in a host of upcoming endorsement contests and elections. Meagan Bachmayer, spokeswoman for Womenwinning, says the last election cycle saw many pro-choice women get booted from the Legislature. That has spurred an increased recruiting effort on their part. “We are very concerned,” she said. “Last year we lost 15 pro-choice women, and we lost pro-choice majorities.”
But Bachmayer says she sees hope in the recruiting efforts coming from the DFL caucuses, namely work from House elections lead Erin Murphy. “Our experience is that when women run, they win, and the problem is just that women aren’t running at the same rate as men.”

Whether you were able to join us at the event or not, we hope to see YOU really soon at another event or perhaps for a candidate door knock!
