From the first-ever woman elected to the Nevada state legislature in 1918, to State Senator Nicole Cannizzaro becoming the first woman Senate majority leader last year – NV women elected officials have been shattering the glass ceiling for decades.
In honor of International Women's Day this Sunday, we want to thank the amazing women who represent Nevada in our State Legislature and in the U.S. Congress.
Since electing the first-ever woman-majority legislature, our representatives have championed everything from paid leave to equal pay legislation, from reproductive rights to sexual assault and domestic violence protections.
