U.S. sees record number of women state lawmakers

Noah Bressner

 

Women will hold a record number of state legislative seats next year, filling about a third of seats nationwide.

 

Why it matters:The most notable increases were in New Mexico and Colorado, where women will make up most lawmakers for the first time, AP reports.

 

By the numbers:19 states will increase the number of women in their state legislatures in 2025, according to Rutgers' Center for American Women and Politics.

 

• Female GOP state lawmakers, at least 851, will break the record set last year.

 

Yes, but:The uptick was small. And at least 13 states saw losses in female representation.
