Women make up 33% of Democratic Senators and Representatives compared to the Republican’s 9.7% female voting members. 2018 is an exciting time to be voting with a record number of women stepping up for House and Senate races and with new female candidates entering elections at all levels across the nation.

This May, The Education Committee provided snapshots of some exceptional women and the interesting races in which they are running.

Today is Equal Pay Day! On average, a woman working full time earns 80.7 cents for every dollar a man working full time earns in the US. Women’s median annual earnings are $9,909 less than men's, according to data from the US Census Bureau. While progress has been made toward pay parity between the sexes, the Institute for Women's Policy Research estimates that it will not be reached until 2059.
We are greatful to those who serve to protect the constitution of the United States and all its citizens #daukwomenscaucus #democratsabroad and thanks to @democratsireland for this graphic 🇺🇸🇺🇸
