    ANOTHER “YEAR OF THE WOMAN?” WOMEN RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE IN OHIO IN THE 2018 MIDTERM ELECTIONS BARBARA PALMER Professor of Political Science Department of Politics and Global Citizenship Executive Director & Creator, Center for Women & Politics of Ohio Baldwin Wallace University Berea, OH [email protected] Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Ohio Association of Economists and Political Scientists, Capitol University, Columbus OH, September, 2018 1 ANOTHER “YEAR OF THE WOMAN?” WOMEN RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE IN OHIO IN THE 2018 MIDTERM ELECTIONS1 The 2018 midterm election has been commonly referred to as another “Year of the Woman.” There is already a great deal of evidence that this election cycle will be a record year for female candidates. For example, in Georgia, Stacey Abrams defeated another woman, Stacey Evans, to win the Democratic primary for governor; Abrams is the first African American woman to ever be a major-party nominee for governor in US history. In addition, a record number of women have filed to run for US House (“2018 Summary”). Women are opening their pocket books in record numbers: in 2014, the last midterm election, 198,000 women contributed $200 or more to a federal campaign or political action committee. By July of 2018, three months before the midterm election, 329,000 women had contributed, and they were contributing to female candidates (Bump, 2018). As one political commentator explained, “As the midterms near, there are signs that an energized base of women will play a significant — and probably defining — role in the outcome” (Bump, 2018). This paper will explore the trends in women running for public office in Ohio; more specifically, are we seeing an increase in the number of women running for US Congress, state legislature, governor and other state-wide offices? In 1992, the original “Year of the Woman,” we saw a spike in the number of female candidates across the nation at the state and national level.

  • Ohio Women Running for Public Office | Baldwin Wallace University
    “BETTER THAN BRIDGE:” OHIO WOMEN RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE, 1872 -2016 (This manuscript was updated in January, 2018 and is a first attempt at presenting this data. Any mistakes are the fault of the author.) Barbara Palmer Department of Politics and Global Citizenship Center for Women and Politics of Ohio Baldwin Wallace University [email protected] An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Annual Meeting of the Ohio Association of Economists and Political Scientists, September, 2017 1 “BETTER THAN BRIDGE:” OHIO WOMEN RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE, 1872 - 20161 In 1922, the first election cycle after the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified guaranteeing women the right to vote, Florence Allen successfully ran for Ohio’s state supreme court, making her the first woman to ever be elected to any state high court. Women were also elected to the Ohio state legislature for the first time. Fourteen women ran and six won. Maude Comstock Waitt was one of the first two women elected to the senate and served until 1930, representing Cuyahoga County. According to Waitt, “Politics is a great game, better than bridge” (“Ladies Gallery – What They Said”). This paper will trace the history of women from Ohio running for president, US Congress, state legislature, state supreme court, and state-wide office, with data covering over 100 years, over 600 elected officials, and 50 election cycles. Ohio has a long history of women’s activism, including the temperance movement and women’s suffrage, beginning in the early 19th Century. Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to ever run for president in 1872, was born in Ohio, and is part of that tradition.

  • Current Women Members 778 ★ Women in Congress ★ Introduction to ★
    ★ PART TWO ★ Current Women Members 778 ★ women in congress ★ introduction to ★ Current Members’ Profiles KEY TO MEMBER TITLES In the 90 years since Representative Jeannette Rankin of Montana became the first woman elected to Congress, a total of 229 women have served in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. Many themes central to the larger saga of American democracy resonate in the history of women in Congress: pioneering spir- it, struggle, perseverance, gradual attainment of power, advancement through unity, and outstanding achievement. The legacy of that dynamic history serves as prologue to the 84 women who now serve in the 109th Congress (2005–2007). The 67 Representatives, three Delegates, and 14 Senators constitute the largest group of women to serve in the history of ★ senator ★ the institution (15.5 percent of the total lawmakers in both chambers). In fact, they account for more than one-third of all the women who have ever served in Congress. All were sworn in to Congress after 1976; most first took office in the 1990s. Part II of Women in Congress provides biographical profiles of these individuals in a format that echoes former Member entries—with information on precongress- ional careers, first House or Senate campaigns, committee and leadership positions, and legislative achievements. But because these are careers in progress, definitive accounts of current Members must await a later date. Current Members were given the opportunity to review their individual profiles prior to publication. In addition, Part II profiles differ in tone and style from, and they are half the length (750 words) of, most former Member entries.
