American City and County: Women and minorities are under-represented by leadership, regardless of a state’s partisan leanings, according to the National Representation Index (NRI), a state-by-state analysis of the race and gender of 42,000 elected officials from the county to the federal level.
Released by the Reflective Democracy Campaign of the Women Donors Network, the NRI found that 71 percent of elected officials are men, 90 percent are white and 65 percent are white males. White males make up 31 percent of the population, but hold four times the political power of women and people of color.
