We're tracking how many women are running (and winning) in primaries this year.
Angela Alsobrooks, Prince George's county executive and Maryland Democratic senate candidate, greets a supporter during a campaign event in Woodlawn, MD, Aug. 28, 2023.Today, Democratic women make up 41 percent and Republican women make up just 15 percent of their respective parties' members of Congress. And of the 12 female governors currently serving, eight are Democrats.
And when it comes to how these women are faring, that discrepancy is also reflected in the share of women winning their primaries: Among certified primary winners so far this cycle, women make up 41 percent of Democratic nominees but just 16 percent of Republican nominees. That represents a slight decrease among both parties compared to 2022,.
Among GOP women who've won their primaries so far, the non-incumbent with the best chance of winning in November is likely Laurie Buckhout in North Carolina's 1st District, which is rated as a toss up by all the. Mayra Flores in Texas's 34th District may also have a shot in a race rated as leans or likely Democratic, while Caroleene Dobson in Alabama's 2nd and Monique DeSpain in Oregon's 4th are both running in "likely Democratic" races.
