Professors to track female gubernatorial candidate campaigns
Professors Tessa Ditonto and David Andersen of Iowa State University’s political science department, working in conjunction with the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, have been awarded a $64,627 grant from the Barbara Lee Family Foundation to track all the gubernatorial campaigns involving female candidates in the 2016 election cycle. The foundation, which has been tracking such campaigns for 20 years, seeks to focus on how female candidates experience gender issues in the campaign and how those issues maybe influenced by the campaign of Hillary Clinton, the first female to gain her party’s nomination for president.
