    Women make up half of Louisiana’s population but less than 25% of its legislature

    Women make up 51% of Louisiana’s population and 55% of registered voters but hold only 22% of House and 14% of Senate seats. Despite historical milestones since 1936, progress in legislative representation has been slow, though Black women’s relative gains in elected office align with state demographics.
