How old is Georgias WIN List and how was it founded?
Georgias WIN List was first organized in the fall of 1999 when a core group of Democratic activists came together to talk about a statewide organization to be modeled after the success of EMILYs List on the national level. The board has expanded in the ensuing years, and the membership and fundraising capabilities of the group have grown. Click here to see a list of our current board members. As a state, Georgia ranks 26th in electing women to statewide office. We have one Democratic statewide officeholderCathy Cox, our Secretary of State. At present, 13 of the 56 Senators are women, with 11 of them Democrats. In the 180 member House, there are 38 women, with 30 of them Democrats. There are women on the state Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, but those are nonpartisan positions.
