It would seem that in a hundred years we have not made much progress compared to that moment in time! Especially sad was the following quote, i thought:
“Umatilla residents elected more than a dozen women to City Council in the last century” — out of how many?
- kbenson 11y agoIs it? Some things that could change how that should be interpreted: What's the term of a mayor? Is that 12 different women, or twelve elections? If the term was always four years, 12 of the probable 25 elections in a century is not bad. If that doesn't count re-elections, that almost definitely means the seat was filled more than half the time by a woman, assuming the usual success of incumbents. Edit: Some of the "current info" I had originally was for Umatilla in Florida, so it doesn't apply. I haven't found anything on the terms in Umatilla, OR, and I'm not sure if mayoral terms are set by the town charter, county or state.
