New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has an idea on how to make Congress work better: Make the majority women.
The women already in Senate “often focus on finding common ground,” the New York Democrat told New York Times. So what’s the one thing she would do to fix Washington?
“I would make Congress 51 percent women” to reflect the population, Gillibrand said.
Gillibrand reiterated it wouldn’t matter if the women were less partisan, since they already “try hard to listen to each other.”
There are currently 20 women in the Senate and 79 women in the House.
Just 14 percent of Americans approve of how it handles its job, a Gallup poll showed this month.
