For the Washington Post, Vanessa Williams speaks to Campaign Director Brenda Choresi Carter on the progress towards a reflective democracy.
From the article:
Brenda Choresi Carter, director of the Reflective Democracy Campaign, summed up the feeling that although there is much to celebrate in the diversity of the new Congress, there also is more work to be done to make the body look more like the population of the country. ‘While this Congress represents a step forward towards a more reflective democracy, including a number of inspiring ‘firsts’ — the first Native American women, the first Muslim American women, the first openly bisexual Senator — I look forward to when reflective political leadership is as unremarkable as the white male domination of our current system.’
