Ada County, Idaho is Growing and so is the Role of Women in its Governance

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A major story following the 2018 midterm elections is the impressive gains women made in the  U.S. Congress and in  state races . National media, however, has largely overlooked key victories for women running for local office. For example, in Harris County in Texas,  17 African-American women  won their races for local judgeships. Here in Idaho, voters elected  two women  to the 3-member Ada County Commission. It appears to be the first time women will hold a  majority of seats  on the Ada County Commission. Ada County includes Boise, the state capital and one of the  fastest growing metro areas  in the country.
