Amanda Hunter, the Executive Director of the Barbara Lee Family Foundation, discusses their new research exploring how political races change when two women compete. In our conversation we explore key findings including how women must prove their qualifications, where men are assumed to be qualified—a fact that doesn’t change when the race is between two women. Also, we discuss the significant racial, gender, and partisan differences that shape how voters view the importance of electing women and people of color.
