Chelsea Hill is the director of data at the Center for American Women and Politics. An experienced data administrator with a background in women and gender studies, she manages the research, collection, and organization of current and historical data on women officeholders. She also maintains the CAWP Officeholder Database, a comprehensive listing of every woman that has held congressional, statewide elective executive, and state legislative office.

In addition to this work, she authors reports on the state of women’s political participation on behalf of CAWP and responds to inquiries from the media, scholars, activists, officeholders, and the general public. This aligns with her passion for providing accurate and up to date data on women in elective office for the CAWP audience.

Hill received her B.A. in communication arts from Marymount Manhattan College and a master's in women and gender studies from Rutgers University in 2016. After completing her master's practicum at CAWP in 2015 on media representation of the women in the 114th Congress, she continues to explore the significance of gender and representation in the political arena.
