For the first time in American history, a state’s entire Congressional delegation, including Senators, is made up of women:
I posted yesterday on the possibility that New Hampshire could elect a female governor and an all-female congressional delegation this year, and that’s exactly what has come to pass.
The AP has now called both congressional races for Democrats Ann McLane Kuster and former Rep. Carol Shea-Porter. Democrat Maggie Hassan became the governor-elect earlier in the night. The state is already represented in the Senate by Democrat Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Kelly Ayotte, making this the first state ever to have an all-woman federal delegation and governor.
Given that New Hampshire’s entire delegation is fairly small this was a far easier feat to achieve than if we were talking about, say, California. Nonetheless, it’s quite the milestone, is it not?
