What do Caucus members want?

We want to increase women's full participation in the political arena, creating a political power base designed to achieve equality for women. Our Congress lags behind the national average at only 16% women. Although Washington State has always been a leader in electing women, with the 2008 elections our legislature now has just over 30% women in office, a drop from the 40% we once had elected (and down from 35% in 2008). Help get that number headed back in the right direction! Join the National Women's Political Caucus of Washington State to elect topnotch women who will work for issues that affect women disproportionately like pay equity, access to birth control and reproductive health services, and workplace flexibility. That's what we want!
