Findings from Vote Mama Foundation's Politics of
Parenthood report revealed only 6.8 percent of the 118th
Congress and just 5.3 percent of state legislators were mothers
with minor children in 2022.
Women, particularly moms of young children, face unique and
often overlooked challenges when running for office. Vote Mama PAC
seeks to build the political power of moms by disrupting the
systems that hold them back through direct financial support,
mentorship, and endorsements. All Vote Mama PAC-endorsed candidates
support truly family-friendly legislation and are committed
to making this country a better place to raise children.
