Women will hold a record number of state legislative seats next year, filling about a third of seats nationwide.
Why it matters: The most notable increases were in New Mexico and Colorado, where women will make up most lawmakers for the first time, AP reports.
By the numbers: 19 states will increase the number of women in their state legislatures in 2025, according to Rutgers' Center for American Women and Politics.
Female GOP state lawmakers,at least 851, will break the record set last year.
Yes, but: The uptick was small. And at least 13 states saw losses in female representation.
