]]> We’ve just published our Gender Matters report, “New Hampshire Women in Municipal Town Government,” highlighting some of the notable takeaways of the independent research we conducted through August 2020 on gender data in municipal elected officials.

View Gender Matters report:Gender Matters Municipal Town Data

The full list of gender data of each municipality of New Hampshire’s 221 towns is below.

Methodology: This report was produced conducting original research obtained from elected official listings published by each of the 221 municipalities and 13 cities in New Hampshire and accessing other public references to local elected officials that identify them by gender/sex. In all instances verification of our conclusions was sought from each Town Clerk. This report would not be possible without their cooperation. These data are current as of August 2020.

Live in one of NH’s 13 cities (Berlin, Claremont, Concord, Dover, Franklin, Keene, Laconia, Lebanon, Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth, Rochester, Somersworth)? Keep an eye out for city data coming later this year!

If you have any questions about the data listed here or our methodology, please email us at info@nhwomensfoundation.org.

]]> Despite Historic Political Engagement, Gains for Women in Public Office are Slow and Uneven

On the heels of the third year of Women’s Marches across the country, the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation (NHWF) is shining the spotlight on the status of women in public office. In this Gender Matters, NHWF documents the national and state level political gains for women in 2018 – an election cycle dubbed the “Year of the Woman 2.0” by pundits. The report also looks at historic trends of women serving in the NH legislature over the past two decades and highlights disparities by geography and as between the two major political parties.

The report highlights how female candidates employed new tactics and shared their personal stories in campaign narratives in the 2018 election cycle. Momentum from the Women’s Marches opposing the policies of Donald Trump’s presidency and from the #MeToo movement addressing sexual assault and harassment were evident on the campaign trail. “Women’s lived experiences dominated their campaign narratives. Female candidates put gender and family in the forefront of their campaigns and the electorate responded favorably,” explained Jennifer Frizzell, Policy Director at NHWF and the report’s author and principal researcher.

One area of concern for NHWF: the report reveals that while Democratic women are gaining ground on the path to parity, Republican women are losing ground. “A record number of Democratic women are serving in the NH House in 2019, but the number of Republican women is the lowest in three decades. Our efforts at reaching parity will never be successful unless we reverse this decline and elect more women from across the political spectrum,” concluded Frizzell.
