Women occupy only 24% of seats in the U.S. Senate, and 28% of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Only 18% of governors are women, and there has never been a female US president as we all know. With Cynthia Richie Terrell I discuss the representation of women in politics. She is the Executive Director and Founder of RepresentWomen, an organization that pushes for parity of women in U.S. politics. The organization started as Representation2020, a program of the non-partisan reform group FairVote, that worked to build a solid intellectual foundation from which future work on representation of women could grow. The discussion touches on many different aspects of electoral systems, women in politics and society, and the strategies that RepresentWomen adopted to push to improve women's political power in America. Cynthia Richie Terrell is a founding member of the ReflectUs coalition, and an outspoken advocate for institutional reforms to advance women's representation and leadership. Cynthia and her husband Rob Richie helped to found FairVote - a nonpartisan champion of electoral reforms that give voters greater choice, a stronger voice, and more representative democracy. In 2020 Cynthia was named a Brewer Fellow and she has been published in numerous print journals including the Washington Post, The New York Times. She graduated with a B.A. in political science from Swarthmore College in 1986.

Maureen McInerney is the Director of Development at the Women's Public Leadership Network (WPLN), an organization aimed to educate, organize, and inspire center-right women to step into public offices across the United States. Maureen is responsible for the fundraising and development initiatives of the organization and serves as the Vice President of the Log Cabin Republicans of Greater Boston Chapter.

She holds a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Communication Studies from Northeastern University and often volunteers her time at SYC West End Youth Rugby as a U12 & U15 Rugby Coach. Maureen joins me today to share her journey into the political arena and how entering into politics opened her eyes to the reality of how few women build political careers and run for public office positions. We discuss why more women should be offered bigger roles in political campaigns and how it could help enourage more women to step into political roles. We discuss the pushback women often receive in the political landscape and why many women tend to think twice about running for office. We discuss ways women can speak out on political topics they're passionate about without running for office or working on campaign trails. We also discuss how women can have open conversations about their political beliefs and values and why it's important to maintain open, respectful dialogue about controversial topics. “The ideology is split in terms of our representation. Things won't move to even reflect where the public opinion is unless people get mad and they start talking about these issues.” - Maureen McInerney This Week on Political Contessa: Maureen's journey into the political landscape Discovering how few women enter into politics and run for public offices Why Maureen believes more men run for public office than women Why more women need bigger roles on campaigns Balancing your personal life with your political-work life as a woman in politics Why many women think twice about running for office How women can use their political voice without running for office The gap between political opinion and public values Building confidence to share your political ideas, beliefs, and values Maintaining respectful and open dialogue on political topics Why women's political power typically comes from the far left Resources Mentioned: Episode 24: Standing Up and Speaking Out with New Hampshire First Congressional District Candidate Gail Huff Brown Episode 32: Politics is ROUGH and You Have to REALLY Want It with Liz Kurantowicz Them: Why We Hate Each Other– and How to Heal by Ben Sasse S.
