Take notice, KY: with women holding an unprecedented number of seats in VA’s General Assembly, the Equal Rights Amendment - a nearly century-long battle to include protections for women in the Constitution - passes both chambers! #ERA #TakeTheLead washingtonpost.com/local/vir…

I keep forgetting that @JColemanKY is carrying a whole baby while running a Lt. Gov. campaign. If you’re not paying attention to the #KYgov race you should. There is no part of it that is uninteresting. – at Washington, DC

Most of the blessings in my life have been completely unexpected. So keeping with that theme, Chris & I will be welcoming the newest member of Team Beshear/Coleman in February! And she is obviously going to make one heck of a shooting guard! 😉

Today is #NativeWomensEqualPay Day, a reminder that, on average in the U.S., Native American women are paid 42% less than white men. Simply put, Native American women have to work almost 9 extra months to make what white men earned in just one year. leanin.org/data-about-the-ge…

Women still earn less than men — and the gap widens for women of color. See the data on pay equity and how companies can close the gender pay gap.

Study hard, get ahead? Unfortunately, that doesn't hold true for everyone. Male college graduates still enter into higher-paying occupations than women—even when their majors are the same. One more reason #EqualityCantWait. EqualityCantWait.com

It's #WomensEqualityDay and 99 years after the 19th amendment, women are only 23.7% of Congress. Learn about women in the 116th Congress. cawp.rutgers.edu/women-us-co…

Advocates for closing the gender gap in computer science say part of the solution isn't necessarily increasing the number of classes that K-12 schools offer — it's getting districts to report who's taking them. politico.com/story/2019/08/0… via @politico
