A Historic Shift
The historic mid-term outcomes were fueled by unprecedented shifts in the race and gender of the people running for office -- at least in one of our two major parties. Find out more about the Reflective Democracy Campaign report that made headlines coast to coast.
We Ranked All 50 States
Our National Representation Index (NRI) measures political power by race and gender. We compared the demographics of each state to its 2017 elected officials, then adjusted for level of office. That way, you can find out how your state scores in representing the people who live there.
The Campaign's mission is to forge a democracy whose leaders reflect the life experiences and diverse backgrounds of all the American people.
