Happy Women’s Equality Day! Today marks the 98th anniversary of the adoption of the 19th amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. We've made so much progress since then -- but there are still many obstacles between our nation and true equality.
One big step we can take in the fight for women's equality? Making sure Congress actually reflects the population it represents. Currently, 81% of Congress is men -- only 19% are women. It's time to change that.
Help get women elected this cycle so we can see true progress. Maura will fight for a woman’s right to choose, equal pay for equal work, and - just as she did in the Pentagon - paid family leave.
With record numbers of women running, 2018 is the year of the woman, just as 1920 was nearly a century ago. Let’s make our own history this year.
Thank you,
Team Maura
