Every day between now and the New Year, Georgia’s WIN List will post a “best and worst” for women of Georgia countdown. Tune in every day to see our list…and add your own!
BEST:
Michelle Nunn:
Since our state has ZERO representation for women at the U.S. Congressional or Senate level, this is a great sign of hope and change. As our endorsed woman Senator Nan Orrock said to us, “It’s great news for Georgia’s women that Michelle Nunn is a candidate for one of Georgia’s U.S. Senate seats! We will have the opportunity to send a woman to the U.S. Senate who is a mother, a leader in non-profit volunteerism, and an incredibly bright and dedicated visionary who is committed to bridging the partisan divide and finding common-sense solutions to break the gridlock in Washington.”
WORST:
Georgia Gets An “F” for Its Treatment of Women:
Georgia ranked at the bottom in the country regarding its treatment of women. A 2013 report by the Center for American Progress called “The State of Women in America” examined all 50 states on an array of issues. Georgia was one of 10 to receive an overall grade of “F” across all 36 factors considered by the report (including economic security, health, and leadership).
