They make up 51% of population, hold 30% of elected positions, report says

The video report from PBS highlights a significant underrepresentation of women in New Jersey's government, as detailed in a study by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. The study reveals that women hold only about 30% of the state's legislative seats, which is below the national average. This underrepresentation extends to local government levels as well, with women comprising just 28% of mayors and 30% of county commissioners. The report discusses the implications of this gender disparity on policy-making and emphasizes the need for increased female participation in politics to better reflect the state's population and address issues pertinent to women. Efforts to encourage more women to run for office and support their campaigns are suggested as crucial steps toward achieving gender parity in New Jersey's government.
