Abstract:

Orange County residents elected an all-female group of politicians to represent them in the N.C. General Assembly. These women include Senator Ellie Kinnaird, Representative Verla Insko, and Representative-elect Valerie Foushee and comprise the first all-female delegation representing Orange County. Despite success in Orange County, there are still only 39 women in the state legislature, that's just 23 percent.
