If 61% of primary voters are women - why aren't more women in political office? Marti Speranza Wong describes the "un-level" playing field that women candidates experience: political parties controlled by men, provide exposure, endorsements; PAC and outside money favor men candidates. Wong outlines the work of Amplify Her, an organization dedicated to electing more women.

Marti Speranza Wong: Executive Director, Amplify Her

YES! more women were elected to public office - yet, here in "progressive" New York, there are only 11 women out of 51 in the City Council - 19 of 63 in the state Senate - 50 of 150 in the Assembly, and 8 out of our 21 member delegation to Congress.
