Record Number of Women Governors as Ayotte Wins New Hampshire
TL;DR Summary
A record 13 women will serve as state governors in the U.S. next year, following Republican Kelly Ayotte's victory in New Hampshire. This surpasses the previous record of 12 set in 2022. The increase in female governors highlights progress in gender representation, though experts note more work is needed. Women governors often influence policies on caregiving and women's issues, and their presence can inspire future generations. Despite these gains, 18 states have never elected a female governor.
