Today Wendy Doyle, President and CEO of Women’s Foundation released a statement in response to Kansas and Missouri’s primary elections:
“Women’s Foundation would like to congratulate the ever-increasing number of women who ran for office in Kansas and Missouri. We are working to ensure civic boards and commissions reflect the communities they serve and are excited by increasing the number of women, and women of color, who are stepping up to be at the decision-making tables of their communities.
Today was also an exciting day for women and families as Medicaid expansion passed in Missouri! The economic development of Missouri’s women is more fully supported when women have access to healthcare and today marks a step in the right direction.
Women’s Foundation will continue to be a leading voice in our region for removing barriers for women and will advocate for policies like Medicaid expansion that support women.”
