The 2018 midterm elections saw a record number of women run for public office. 

Many of them won the day, but the long-term outlook for gender parity in public offices is bleak. Women account for just a quarter of the members of Congress despite making up more than half of the U.S. population.

Guests

  • Former Mayor of Sacramento Heather Fargo
