(Bonnie Jo Mount/The Washington Post via Getty Images) Women broke barriers in the 2020 elections, both at the ballot box and as political donors. Unprecedented numbers of women ran for office and won their races. Come January, Congress and many state legislatures will become more representative of the nation as a whole, with women holding more seats than ever before. And in both state and federal races, women raised more money than in any prior cycle.  That’s according to an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics and the National Institute on Money in Politics. Political participation from women, both as candidates and as donors, has risen in the wake of the 2016 election. That trend notably spiked during the 2018 midterms and continued into the all-time most expensive 2020 election.
