About this user

In 2002, due to crafty Republican redistricting, the Texas House lost five Democratic women and our numbers stayed stagnant in the Texas Senate. Today, only 20 out of 181 Texas legislators are Democratic women. And in Texas history, no more than 100 women have ever served compared to approximately 6,000 men.

Annies List was started in 2003 to combat this alarming trend and already we have seen major successes. We are a diverse coalition of political professionals, non-profit executives, policy experts, former candidates and elected officials, major donors, attorneys and more - all dedicated to changing the face of power in Texas politics (thereby combatting the assault on issues of most importance to women and their families) by recruiting, training and supporting women candidates across the state.
