About ReflectUS
ReflectUS is a national, nonpartisan coalition of the leading women’s representation organizations working to increase the number of women elected and appointed to public office at the local, state and national levels. We believe that our government should reflect the people it governs—and this means we need more women of all backgrounds in political leadership.

Our History
How We Started
"In 2016, leaders in the women’s representation movement came together, realizing we’d never achieve gender parity in political leadership unless we worked together. By combining all of our resources, we hope to build national solidarity and accelerate women's representation across the country".
Anne Moses, Founder & President of IGNITE
The Challenge
Women by the Numbers
One hundred years after women won the right to vote, they remain severely under-represented at all levels of government. Here are some key figures.
27.6%
State-Wide Executives
86 women hold statewide elective executive offices across the country; women hold 27.6% of the 312 available positions.
28.8%
State Legislative
2,129 or 28.8%, of the 7,383 state legislators in the United States are women.
23.7%
Congress members
Women hold 127, or 23.7%, of seats in Congress.
Women have spoken, and our voices are being heard.
ReflectUS’ and Coalition Members’ events bring expert women from a variety of backgrounds and fields to your screen for capacity-building and in-depth conversation on the issues affecting women and barriers to parity.
The Solution
Accelerating Representation
The ReflectUS Coalition bridges traditional women’s representation efforts by building solidarity to create institutional change and capacity-building efforts towards accelerated gender parity in political leadership.
