I'm preparing a PowerPoint presentation for an address at the 5th Annual Women's Leadership Conference hosted by the Greater Muskogee Area Chamber of Commerce.Oklahoma ranks 49th in the nation in the number of women serving the state legislature.
This is one of the "slides" (current female Oklahoma State Senators).
In 2005 and 2006, 14.8% of the members of the Oklahoma Legislature were women; today it is 11.4% (see Center for American Women and Politics).
So talk a girlfriend into running for the Oklahoma House or Senate. The Oklahoma Republican or Democratic Party officials will help them - they just need to be encouraged to run.
This is very sad, especially since women outnumber men in our State (per the 2008 census estimate).
