Is 2018 the Year of Women?

Politics & Elections

I’ve read quite a few articles about 2018 being “The Year of Women” in politics. If nothing else Trump seems to have inspired a number of women to get more active politically, including running for office. Now it’s a friend of mine!

Valerie is an (accomplished) scientist and she got fed up enough to try to do something about it.

While it’s an uphill battle for her, it certainly seems that she is catching a rising tide. And dammit, at least she’s trying.

Is anybody else seeing this trend locally/personally?

I can’t say I know any women who are running, but many are becoming more activist. (Of course, there aren’t many Republican women whom I interact with regularly outside of work, because I don’t like or approve of their dogma.)
