South Carolina Women In Leadership (SCWIL)
Information
To spread the news, we’ve created a comprehensive database of women who filed for office before March 31 on our website and are adding links to campaign information for all female candidates as they become available. Please note: our database only includes current candidates for county, state, or federal office as opposed to municipal offices (town, city, etc.) as many municipalities are still accepting candidate filings for their elections. Most of these filing periods expire in mid- to late August. At that time, we will be sure to disseminate municipal candidate information to our members.
There’s always an election on the horizon in South Carolina. In 2020, South Carolina will vote on one United States Senator, all seven United States House Representatives, all members in both chambers of the South Carolina State House, and many school board and County offices.
Currently, South Carolina is ranked 45th among 50 states with respect to the number of women in elected office, with no women in the US Senate or US House. It’s time for women to come forward in great numbers to reach a critical mass of representation – in media, in corporations, and in government.
