Abstract
First I will address step number one: becoming a candidate. There are several reasons why fewer women become the candidate of a major party in an election for a high level position. Next I will address challenges women face when campaigning. After they make it through the obstacles that step one presents, the candidate must decide how to handle the inevitable sexism they will experience while running a political campaign in America. Lastly, we will discuss the last step to winning an election, getting the votes. It all comes down to election day. After you make it through successfully becoming a candidate and campaigning for as long as 2 years, you still have to win the election.
