FOCUS: WIN cites progress made in electing women to political office

By Melita Easters, Georgia’s WIN List, Atlanta, Ga. | As citizens vote early in record numbers, women will be the deciding factor as polls and political pundits increasingly predict Georgians will vote blue for the first time since 1992.

This shift is not entirely unpredictable. Legislative seats and private sector leadership positions held by women are leading indicators for a strong Georgia progressive streak. This is obscured by the fact that all statewide offices, the majority of congressional seats and House and Senate majorities are held by Republicans, who in Georgia are predominantly pale and male.
