Arkansas, Ohio, and Oklahoma could election women as both governor and lieutenant governor

. The race for lieutenant governor is between Republican Leslie Rutledge, who is the state’s current attorney general, and Democrat Kelly Krout.

Krout, who is a social worker and mom of seven and has been campaigning with Jones, a Black man, tells TIME she appreciates that the gubernatorial race in Arkansas will be historic, one way or another. “All of the women in this race, myself, Leslie Rutledge, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, politically speaking we are all pretty young. We’re all mothers of young children, and I appreciate the representation there because we’re showing other women that you too can do this,” Krout says.

But the Democratic women candidates hope the Supreme Court’s decision in June to overturn a constitutional right to abortion will motivate Democrats to turn out in higher numbers to vote. “Now that the Supreme Court has sent the issue of abortion rights to the states, electing a pro-choice, female governor and lieutenant governor has never been more important,” a spokesperson for the Whaley-Stephens campaign tells TIME in a statement.

Hofmeister is a lifelong Republican who only recently changed her party affiliation to Democrat in order to run against Stitt. “I was a Republican longer than Governor Stitt was registered to vote,”Why the Oklahoma Governor’s Race Is Closer Than Anyone Expected

thanks. I had forgotten how intellectually repulsive this woman is.

With AR that'd be both forward and backwards at the same time.

Arkansas, my poor state, is about to be abused by a fraud and liar if SarahHuckabee wins… Please vote JonesForAR. Vote for a plan and the future, not a hate filled divisive relic of the past who also happens to be completely unqualified and AWOL. 🤦‍♂️👍 VoteBlueTommorrow
