Professor of Political Science Rosalyn Cooperman was highlighted in a Spanish-language article by BBC News Brasil about the Kamala Harris candidacy. The article, titled “Why Kamala Harris doesn’t highlight that she may be the first woman elected president of the USA,” quotes Cooperman as saying, “If you look at it, Kamala Harris is highlighting (the fact that) she is a woman in her own way.” Read the article.
Cooperman also recently penned an article titled “What will 2025 bring for women’s representation in the Commonwealth of Virginia?” for the Center for American Women and Politics. “Even as the 2024 U.S. congressional and presidential elections are not yet in the books, I am turning my attention to Virginia and women’s representation in it at the federal and state level,” Cooperman writes in the article. “In 2024, Virginia had four of its eleven congressional seats occupied by women – three Democrats in Virginia’s 4th (Jennifer McClellan), 7th (Abigail Spanberger), and 10th Congressional Districts (Jennifer Wexton), and one Republican in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District (Jen Kiggans).” Read the article.
