represents the only chance left this year for the House GOP to follow through on one of its key promises for the 2020 cycle: Elect more women.
But even as the number of Democratic women surged last year,Republicans saw the number of women in their ranks shrink exponentially after the 2018 midterms, catalyzing those that were left to sound the alarm.But “we don’t have to look closely to see that women are underrepresented, particularly conservative women,” Perry said of the House Republican conference.Sign Up
The Eastern North Carolina district is solidly Republican: President Donald Trump won more than 60 percent of the vote in the 2016 presidential election, and GOP Rep. Walter Jones held the seat from the 1994 midterm election until he died earlier this year., but his 23 percent share of the vote was below the 30-percent threshold to clinch the nomination. That set up the runoff with Perry, who finished second with 15 percent.Republican outside groups focused on electing women jumped in.
support from Susan B. Anthony List, FreedomWorks and a local tea party chapter is evidence that she is conservative and supports Trump. Perez-Cubas, the Winning for Women spokesperson, said Meadows’ decision to back Murphy over Perry plays into perceptions of women Republicans as less conservative solely based on their gender.
