Record numbers of women are running for public office!

Women Line Up to Run for Office, Harnessing Their Outrage at Trump!

The election of President Trump, the Women’s March and a flood of sexual assault charges against powerful men have combined to build a wave of political activism among women. Yeah!

I hope there are record number of minorities seeking office, too and they win also. And I hope they're all younger than 60. The government needs to look a lot less like me.
