Palmetto Perspectives fosters thoughtful dialogue on the most pressing issues facing communities across the state. This episode examines why, although women make up approximately 51 percent of South Carolina’s population, they remain significantly underrepresented in elected leadership positions.

According to data from the Center for American Women and Politics, representation levels in South Carolina rank among the bottom three states. Historically, only nine women have held statewide constitutional office in South Carolina, and the state has never elected a woman to serve in the U.S. Senate. The discussion will examine barriers women may face when seeking office, including fundraising challenges, recruitment gaps and work-life considerations, while also highlighting the civic and policy benefits associated with broader representation.

Hosted by Sierra Artemus, the episode will feature a panel conversation with community leaders, policymakers and advocates focused on identifying pathways for women’s civic engagement and leadership across South Carolina.
