Tomorrow is International Women's Day – a day to celebrate the achievements of women everywhere and in all walks of life. Among those important achievements are the ones our women elected officials have made right here in Nevada.
The fight for gender equity in pay, housing, health care, and more continues – and the Democratic women who stormed the halls of power in our state are leading the way.
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.
