This year, the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University placed Colorado at the top of a national list for the highest share of women serving in municipal government -- at 46.1%. The report also ranked Colorado No. 2 for the proportion of women serving in the state legislature, representing 49% of all House and Senate members under the Gold Dome. The state trailed only Nevada, where the legislature is just over 60% women. At the bottom is West Virginia, with less than 12% of state lawmakers women.
