I think that almost anyone will tell you that you have a better chance of getting to D1 if you are a female. Of course you know many women who aren't at the D1 level. I also know many men who aren't in Congress. Does that mean that my chances for election are any better or worse than those of a woman candidate? No. That doesn't prove anything. But I think it's fairly well-known that D1 Women's assignors want to hire female officials. That means a good female official has a better chance of landing that D1 spot than a good male official, all other things being equal.
