Record number of women run for U.S. House in 2018 primaries
The Associated Press reports a record 309 women filed to run for the U.S. House, surpassing 2012’s 298. Democrats lead most campaigns with issues like health care, education, and workplace equality, while candidates such as Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Tiffany Shedd in Arizona seek open seats. The surge follows the 2017 women’s marches and prior waves like 1992’s Year of the Woman.
