Last November, 14 new female lawmakers were elected—among them Teresa Ruiz, the first Latina to win a seat in New Jersey’s Senate. There are now 34 women in the state’s legislature—roughly 28 percent of its 120 members. Forty-one percent of all women serving in the legislature are women of color.
While the change in New Jersey’s rank represents significant growth, women are not settling. There are still inroads to be made. In a state where Latinos are more than 15 percent of the population, there are only a handful of Hispanics in the legislature.”*
