@Les_Carpenter@KPete801 Oops, our reply got buried! 1950 was the first time that happened, but I think itβs safe to say this is the first time three parties nominated women (there wasnβt a 3rd candidate in 1950). https://t.co/GD1Majf1vt
@Les_Carpenter@KPete801 But in 1950, Ivy Baker Priest (R) challenged incumbent Reva Beck Bosone (D) and there were no other candidates, as far as we know. https://t.co/GD1Majf1vt
@Les_Carpenter@KPete801 Good question! In 1992 and 1994, Karen Shepherd and Enid Mickelson faced each other as R and D nominees for Congress. There were independent male candidates in the race as well.
A new mural honoring women who built up the community of Rose Park will be unveiled tonight at the Rose Park Community Gardens.

What a wonderful community recognition & celebration... packed seating and a big crowd standing, everyone acknowledging the influence of one of the remarkable women. Thanks, @BetterDays2020 & other sponsors.
