Wednesday on Political Rewind, the votes of women could be decisive in upcoming elections. As we near the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment’s enshrining of women’s suffrage in the Constitution, we’ll take a look at the importance of this voter bloc.

Where do the Republican and Democratic parties stand in facilitating leadership development for female officials? And how are the two major political parties reaching out to these voters?

 

Panelists:

Melita Easters — Founder and Director, Georgia WIN List

Andra Gillespie — Political Science Professor, Emory University

Julianne Thompson — Political Commentator

Amy Steigerwalt — Political Science Professor, Georgia State University
