NOW Backing Men and Women Candidates Alike
NOW backs seven male candidates over female opponents to boost women’s rights gains. Eleanor Smeal says federal races pit a Republican woman against a Democratic man with a stronger record on women’s rights. The group notes it funds more women than before but still directs more than half to male candidates at federal and state levels.
