American media spend a remarkable amount of time discussing the importance of diversity, but not when it comes to one of the country’s least represented groups: conservative women.
Despite the fact an estimated 27 million women voted for President Trump in 2016 and 28 million women voted for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in 2012, conservative women remain largely underrepresented in the federal government.
Only 101 women serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, 23 percent of the total, and just 13 are members of the Republican Party. Further, of the 26 women holding seats in the U.S. Senate, only nine are in the GOP.
