There’s been a lot of doom and gloom in the news lately, and there hasn’t been signs of it slowing down anytime soon. On October 10th 2018 the Los Angeles Times published an article by Colleen Shalby titled, A Record Number of Women Are Running for Office This Election Cycle They Didn’t Wait For An Invite . This is a great and informative piece that reveals a small bright spot opening up within these rather stormy current events.
It’s a revitalizing read that details how women are breaking the traditional campaign model where political parties seek out their (typically male) candidates, by simply running without having to be asked. As a result we are seeing record numbers of women running for office, and succeeding. This historical change gained substantial momentum in 2016 and the greatest numbers thus far, have been reported this year.
