In 2020, state-level women candidates relied heavily on women donors who gave 46% of their donations to women candidates. Men donors only gave 24% of their contributions to women candidates.

People in the health industry have spent more on ballot measures in Colorado than in any other state except Missouri and California, according to data from @MoneyInPolitics. That’s largely due to Kent Thiry. @khn @raelnb khn.org/MTIyMzUyNA via @khnews

This Health Care Magnate Wants to Fix Democracy, Starting in Colorado - KFF Health News

Kent Thiry, the former CEO of dialysis giant DaVita, has clear ideas about how democracy should work. By backing ballot measures in Colorado, he’s shaping the power of voters in that state.

New from our friends @CAWP_RU: "The scarcity of women in gubernatorial office begins with their underrepresentation as [...] candidates. This is especially true for women of color and Republican women. A Black woman or Native American woman has yet to win the office of governor"

It's really exciting to see this report come out of our partnership with CAWP. It's an important analysis of the hurdles women - and especially women of color - face as gubernatorial candidates.

Twenty states have still never elected a woman governor. Only 44 women, and just three women of color, have ever served as an American governor. Full report here: cawp.rutgers.edu/sites/defau…

One of our biggest findings is that women donors showed up for state candidates in 2020 - but especially Republican candidates.

Another fascinating thing we uncovered is that while the proportion of out-of-state donors to state races stayed about the same, there was a complete reversal in *who* donors were supporting. Democratic candidates took in the lion's share of contributions from out-of-state.
