10 The Results
11 Democrats suffered losses across the country. In governor s races, Republicans flipped 3 states (MD, MA and IL) while losing Alaska to the Independent. Republicans won decidedly in Senate races, picking up 7 states so far (NC, AR, CO, IA, WV, MT, and SD), while Louisiana heads to a December runoff, and Alaska remains uncalled. Gubernatorial U.S. Senate 18 Democrats (-3) 31 Republicans (+2) 1 Independent (+1) 46 Democrats (-7) 52 Republicans (+7) 2 TBD (LA runoff and AK) 9
12 In addition to grabbing Democratic Senate seats, Republicans expanded their margin in the House by picking up an additional 10 seats, making it the largest Republican majority since the Truman Administration. U.S. House of Representatives 179 Democrats (-20) 243 Republicans (+10) 13 TBD
13 While Democrats lost, the progressive agenda won. Minimum wage ballot initiatives passed in all 5 states where they were on the ballot (AR, AK, IL, NE, and SD), most by significant margins. This suggest that while voters are pessimistic desiring new leadership, they also support core populist economic policies and worry about their low pay. Voters also voted for paid sick days initiatives in Massachusetts; Trenton, NJ; Montclair, NJ; and Oakland, CA.

15 Notably, the Democrats electoral weakness did not extend to its core RAE voters. Democrats maintained significant advantages among young voters, African Americans and Hispanics, and unmarried women. However, the turnout of these groups was down from Democrats also failed to win a significant share of persuadable, Independent voters.

16 Women Voters and The Gender Gap
17 Overview of Women Voters in 2014 In 2014, women comprised 51% of the electorate, representing a lower percentage than in 2012 (53%) and 2010 (52%). While still key to victory, women favored Democrats by 4 points nationally, while men favored Republicans by 16 points, resulting in a gender gap of 20 points. This was a narrower margin among women than in 2012 for Republicans when they lost women by 11 points. This resembled 2010, when Democrats lost women by 1 point and lost men by 14 points. This election, Republicans won white women by 14 points, Independent women by 4 points, and married women by 10 points.
18 Women Voters and Women Candidates in 2014 In all Senate races, gender gaps ranging from 12 to 30 points were evident, with women being more likely than men to support Democratic candidates. However, Democrats lost men by more than they won women. That said, women were more likely to vote Republican when there was a woman on the ballot like in West Virginia and Maine. In all key Senate races with women candidates running, women voters were more likely to favor the woman on the ballot. However, we should note that married women remain more likely to vote Republican than their unmarried counterparts, except in Maine.
19 Since 2010, we ve seen a widening gender gap between men and women Gender Gap Democrat 52 Republican CNN exit polls Men Women Men Women Men Women
20 Across key Senate races, we saw wide gender gaps where women were more likely to favor Democrats than men. In all Senate races with women candidates on the ballot, women voters net favored the woman running.

22 Where Women Won
23 Overview of Women Candidates in 2014 Congress At least 101 women will serve in the 114 th Congress. On Tuesday, 4 women won their Senate races including 2 Republican newcomers: Joni Ernst (IA) and Shelley Moore Capito (WV). While Kay Hagan (D-NC) lost her seat, the Senate remains 20% women. Joni Ernst will be the first woman ever in Iowa s congressional delegation and the first woman veteran to serve in the U.S. Senate. The 114 th Congress will have 6 GOP women senators, which is the largest number to date and signifies a growing constituency of Republican women candidates.
24 Overview of Women Candidates in 2014 Congress In the House, 11 new women have been elected, including 5 women of color, joining the 70 incumbent women who won reelection. This comprises the largest number of women serving in the House to date, including a record total of 32 women of color serving in the House (29 D, 3R). At 30 years old, Elise Stefanik (R-NY) made history as the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. Mia Love (R-UT) also made history as the first African American Republican woman elected to Congress.
25 Overview of Women Candidates in 2014 State Office While women candidates made gains in Congress, less can be said of their representation as statewide executives. Of the 9 women nominated for gubernatorial office, 4 incumbent women won reelection, while Gina Raimondo (D-RI) was the only woman candidate to pick up an open seat. It was a notable win as Gina Raimondo is the first woman elected governor of Rhode Island. Other notable firsts include Evelyn Sanguinetti (R-IL) becoming the first Latina Lt. Governor in any state and Massachusetts attorney generalelect Maura Healy being the first LGBT woman elected to the post in any state.
26 While women continue to make progress in Congress, significant work has to be done at all levels of elected office. 80% 20% 49% 51% 90% 10% U.S. Senate 2014 Voters Governors 19% Women 24% 81% Men 76% Source: Center for American Women and Politics; CNN Exit Polls U.S. House of Representatives State Legislatures 24
