Republican women are turning out in droves for the 2022 congressional elections.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that 127 women across the country have either filed candidate paperwork or publicly announced for U.S. House bids next year.
That’s the most for the GOP at this point in an election cycle, and more than doubled the 50 who were candidates at this time two years ago, the Journal reported, citing party officials.
The party hopes to build on the success of the last election.
Overall, according to the Journal, 227 Republican women ran for the House last year. That, too, was a record, and nearly doubled the number from 2018.
As it turned out, women won 11 of the 14 seats the GOP flipped from Democrats in 2020, bring the total number of Republican women in Congress to 31, also a record got the GOP.
In comparison, Democrats have 88 women in the House.
That fed a snippy response from a Democratic spokeswoman.
“We welcome House Republicans to the year of our Lord 2021 as they begin recruiting more women candidates,” Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokeswoman Helen Kalla told the Journal.
That’s a funny line – especially coming from someone whose party maintains gender is fluid and cannot or refuses to not define what a woman is, and is trampling on the rights of women by green-lighting efforts by biological men claiming to be women to invade women’s sports, locker rooms, and restrooms.
And next year, those Republican women should look forward to the harsh, unrelenting misogynist attacks on them from the “feminists” on the Democratic side who will oppose their positions on abortion, education, and child care.
