New State Data Added to Women, Money, & Politics Watch 2024

Today, the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), a unit of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University, added new data to our ongoing Women, Money, & Politics Watch 2024 project. As part of our “The State View: A Deep Dive into Ten States” portion of the research, CAWP scholars have now incorporated data for state candidates in Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, and Washington.

 This data includes campaign finance information for state legislative and statewide elective executive candidates and tracks averages of amounts raised from individual donors, self-financing, and small-dollar contributions with comparisons between men and women candidates, partisan disparities, and the data is filterable by women’s race and ethnicity. State candidate data from Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, and Pennsylvania was previously incorporated into the data set; information for our remaining two key focus states, Florida and Massachusetts, is forthcoming.

 Women, Money, & Politics Watch 2024 uses interactive data visualizations powered by Graphicacy that are downloadable and shareable; follow the story as it develops on the project landing page and learn about early findings from the project regarding disparities in how women contribute to campaigns and how women candidates raise funds in election 2024. This project is part of the CAWP Women, Money, and Politics series, undertaken in collaboration with OpenSecrets; previous reports in the series can be found here. This research is made possible thanks to the generosity and commitment of Pivotal Ventures, a Melinda French Gates company. Find all CAWP data about women in election 2024 at Election Watch.
