Dear John,

While 2021 continues to be a tough year, it's clear that there were a number of
historic 2020 election wins for women and LGBTQ folks in state legislatures,
Congress, and even the White House with the landmark election of Vice
President-elect Kamala Harris. Women, especially Black women, have made clear
that we are central to our nation's success: We're voters, organizers, and
increasingly, political leaders.

The Center for American Progress's new column, The State of Women's Leadership--And How to Continue Changing the Face of U.S.
Politics
[[link removed]] , analyzes the state of women's political leadership in the U.S. post-2020 and
highlights specific policy recommendations to remove barriers to office for
women and LGBTQ candidates. Despite major gains, we are still far from a
reflective democracy. In order to continue changing the face of U.S. politics,
we need to actively recruit candidates outside of traditional networks, improve
wages and work-family policies, foster a workplace culture of equity and respect
on the campaign trail, and more.

Best,

Shilpa Phadke,
VP, Women's Initiative
Center for American Progress
