Women LEAD

Just over a decade ago only 30 Democratic women served in the House of Representatives. By 2005 that number had grown to 43. Today 52 Democratic women serve in the House and Speaker Nancy Pelosi presides as the highest ranking woman official in our nations history.

Our work is far from finished. If this trend is to continue, it will require not only financial support; but also a constant exchange of ideas and strong advocacy.

The DCCC’s Women’s LEAD program, headed up by Representative Allyson Schwartz, is designed to engage women in the democratic process and build a network of people around the country dedicated to electing more women to the House of Representatives.
