Harris, Democratic pro-choice women have to overcome all kinds of barriers when running for office, including the myth of "electability."
Women candidates often face questions about how "electable" they are. Men running for office simply don't get asked that question.
Let's get one thing straight, Harris:
Women candidates are electable if you elect them.
Rep. Mikie Sherrill (NJ-GOV) is proof of that.
Mikie was told during her first U.S. House run in 2018 that "people didn't think a woman could win in New Jersey." She proved them wrong — flipping a long-time Republican seat and winning by 15 percentage points!!
Now, she's ready to prove the skeptics wrong again.
Mikie is the only woman — and the front runner — in the crowded New Jersey Democratic primary for governor, and we know she is best positioned to win in November.
