WPC Lunch & Learn - RepresentWomen's Parity in Portland Briefing

Watch the recording of our November Lunch & Learn featuring RepresentWomen’s Research Director, Courtney Lamendola. This session explores the key findings from our latest Parity in Portland brief.In 2024, Portland, Oregon, made history: women now hold half the seats on the city council — including four women of color. This progress was the result of intentional systems reform and strong community networks supporting women candidates.In this recording, Courtney breaks down how Portland achieved these outcomes and what other cities can learn from their model as we work toward a gender-balanced democracy.About the Women’s Power Collaborative (WPC): The WPC is a national hub for networking, strategy, and resource-sharing dedicated to advancing women’s political leadership. Through Lunch & Learns, regional meetings, and shared tools, we connect women candidates with advocates and reformers working to strengthen our democracy.
