Women always make up more than half of the electorate in national elections.

But when it comes to donating to presidential candidates, they usually account for a minority of donations, according to the available donor data. And this year is no different — at least, thus far — according to a recent analysis from the Center for Responsive Politics, a think tank that tracks money in elections. That group attempted to use donors’ names to analyze donations by gender. They found that men thus far account for around 57% of donations to presidential candidates.

“One way we think about this is thinking about the activation of women — in what way do they channel their political enthusiasm or engagement?” says Kelly Dittmar, assistant research professor at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “And it hasn’t been money. That hasn’t been a primary route for them to do so.”

Based on the data we have thus far for 2019, relatively few candidates have received most of their money from women. Here are a few of the lessons we can glean from the center’s data.
