SMU - Women in Congress, Breaking the Glass Ceiling

How Does Your District Rate?

How good, or bad, are the odds for women candidates in your district? The following chart has two scores for every Congressional district in the United States, by state: one for Democratic women and one for Republican women. The higher the score, the more friendly the district is to women of that party. See Congressional district maps.
