Findings from Vote Mama Foundation's Politics of Parenthood report revealed only 6.8 percent of the 118th Congress and just 5.3 percent of state legislators were mothers with minor children in 2022.

Women, particularly moms of young children, face unique and often overlooked challenges when running for office. Vote Mama PAC seeks to build the political power of moms by disrupting the systems that hold them back through direct financial support, mentorship, and endorsements. All Vote Mama PAC-endorsed candidates support truly family-friendly legislation and are committed to making this country a better place to raise children.
