Professor @SondraCosgrove has been working with other academics to understand the totality of this kind of gender parity, including whether women legislators in Nevada are able to get all their priority bills through or if they have enough leadership power.https://bit.ly/3j1E0mq

Cosgrove hopes it will help shape conversations about what women's representation in statehouses means. This year, the number of statehouse chambers with women majorities will be greater than all previous instances combined. https://bit.ly/3j1E0mq pic.twitter.com/xzi98xChtP

Women are the majority in the Colorado House, the New Mexico House, the Oregon House and the Rhode Island Senate — as well as both chambers in Nevada.https://bit.ly/3j1E0mq

In 2012, just 25% of Nevada legislators were women. At the time, nationwide the figure was 23.7%; that's up to 30.8% now, according to @CAWP_RU. That's a record, even as women make up more than half of the American population.https://bit.ly/3j1E0mq

.@SondraCosgrove and her research colleagues, @JennieSweetCush and @msGSXR, hope to publish some of their work by the end of year. They're considering several variables, including the effects of party control, the coronavirus and how many women are in chamber leadership.

The researchers are also factoring in the notion that women lawmakers advance more "women's bills." This requires nuance, said Cosgrove. Benitez-Thompson said the most meaningful policy she helped advance last session related to the state's finances.https://bit.ly/3j1E0mq

When @Daniele4NV entered her first legislative session in 2017, she was one of only a handful of Black women to ever serve. She said an older White lawmaker early on told her that "he never dreamed that he would see so many women and so many people of color" at the statehouse.pic.twitter.com/SbPDt1BX9W

Diversity was among the central themes that emerged during researchers' interviews with lawmakers, according to @SondraCosgrove, as many of the women lawmakers said the difference in legislation should also be attributed to the growing diversity of the statehouse.

The Nevada statehouse has slightly increased its representation of Black people, Latinx, Asian Americans and LGBTQ+ lawmakers. State Sen. Pat Spearman is a queer Black woman; Benitez-Thompson is Latina.https://bit.ly/3j1E0mq
