IN THIS ISSUE. . .
I challenged our Regional Coordinators to choose two (2) women candidates from their region to spotlight these last couple weeks before Election Day. All said the hardest part of this challenge was to choose only two! Interestingly, of the ten women highlighted below, 4 are running for the highest office in their state – Governor! 2006 could be a record-setting year for women elected as governors…there are 3 women governors in mid-term and therefore not running (Ruth Ann Minner (D) of Delaware, Kathleen Blanco (D) of Louisiana and Christine Gregoire (D) of Washington). However, there are 10 women running for governor – 5 democrats, 3 of which are incumbents (Janet Napolitano (D) of Arizona, Kathleen Sebelius (D) of Kansas and Jennifer Granholm (D) of Michigan); and, 2 current state office holders (Sen. Dina Titus (D) of Nevada and Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley (D) of Alabama) and 5 republicans, 2 of which are incumbents (Jodi Rell (R) of Connecticut and Linda Lingle (R) of Hawaii); and 3 current office-holders - former Mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin (R) is challenging an incumbent Alaskan governor and Lt. Governor Kerry Healey (R) of Massachusetts and State Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka (R) of Illinois. If all 10 women win, plus the 3 sitting female governors, we could see a record-breaking 13 women as Governors…compared to the present 8. The “pipeline” is strong and getting filled!! Now, on to our spotlights… >>READ MORE
