Our research has shown there are large gender imbalances in legislative leadership across the country. Only 32% of Montana's current lawmakers are women, despite making up 49.7% of the population. #MTpol #MTleg

In 2020, state-level women candidates relied heavily on women donors who gave 46% of their donations to women candidates. Men donors only gave 24% of their contributions to women candidates.

People in the health industry have spent more on ballot measures in Colorado than in any other state except Missouri and California, according to data from @MoneyInPolitics. That’s largely due to Kent Thiry. @khn @raelnb https://t.co/oTMv8xUiy1 via @khnews

Twenty states have still never elected a woman governor. Only 44 women, and just three women of color, have ever served as an American governor.

New from our friends @CAWP_RU:

"The scarcity of women in gubernatorial office begins with their underrepresentation as [...] candidates. This is especially true for women of color and Republican women. A Black woman or Native American woman has yet to win the office of governor"

Another fascinating thing we uncovered is that while the proportion of out-of-state donors to state races stayed about the same, there was a complete reversal in *who* donors were supporting. Democratic candidates took in the lion's share of contributions from out-of-state.

One of our biggest findings is that women donors showed up for state candidates in 2020 - but especially Republican candidates.
