Will more women run for office now that Donald Trump won? This group says yes

As women worry about what will happen to their reproductive rights in the wake of Donald Trump’s imminent return to the White House, more are looking to get involved in politics.

She Should Run, a nonprofit working to increase the number of women running for office, reported a 743% increase in women looking to get involved or run for office post-election.

“As of September, over half of women felt less engaged in politics than they were five years ago, and 78% hadn’t considered running,” said Erin Loos Cutraro, CEO and founder of She Should Run. “Today, it’s clear that women’s representation could face a decline as a result of this election . . . To build the future we envision, one that is truly equitable, we need more women to recognize that, even as we make important gains, we’re in very fragile times for women’s representation in policymaking—and the only way to change course is for them to step up, step in, and see themselves as the political leaders of tomorrow.”
