Women are now a dominant force at the highest levels of Democratic presidential campaigns — and getting paid equitably, a POLITICO analysis shows
After decades of taking home less pay and fighting to have a say in major decisions, women are now a dominant force at the highest levels of Democratic presidential campaigns — and they’re getting paid equitably for their work, a POLITICO analysis shows.A review of federal election records and internal campaign data show the six women running for president have filled nearly 60 percent of their senior leadership with women.
“On behalf of all the women who have worked on campaigns, it is about fucking time that this has happened — and you can quote me on that,” Caprara said. “I really relish the day when this is not a story, when we’re not having these conversations of ‘are we paying men and women equal?'” The POLITICO analysis found that in the campaigns of female candidates — as well as those of the three top-polling men — women with few exceptions drew salaries on par with men for positions within the same or similar job classification.
Pay comparisons among campaigns were more difficult to make due to varying structures, job titles and responsibilities within each operation.
