May 25: We know life for women and families across the country gets better when our government looks more like the people they represent.
With women making up just 20 percent of Congress, there's still plenty of work for us to do.
It can be easy to forget how far we've come, and how far we still have to go.
It wasn't until 1986 that the first Democratic woman was elected to the Senate in her own right.
And it wasn't until 1992 that we had more than two women in the Senate — and we elected the first black woman senator.
And don't forget 2007, the year Nancy Pelosi became the first woman speaker of the House.
But we still have so far to go — making sure we elect a woman to every state's delegation, electing a woman to the White House, and more.

So far, primaries have been held in 147 House districts, and women have been the nominees in 43 percent of the Democratic contests.
That's an excellent start. But 19 states and D.C. have primary elections in June — and we need to keep up the support for pro-choice Democratic women in competitive races.
... numbers ... on the Republican side are fairly weak. ... In the primaries held so far, just 7 percent of all the Republican House nominees have been women.
