More Women Than Ever Before Elected to Congress

Women on both sides of the political aisle won big in 2020.

In 1981, only 7 women served in Congress. In 2018, it was 127. Now in 2020, at least 134 will represent constituents in Congress.

Missouri elected its first Black women to Congress. New Mexico is the first state to elect all women of color to the House of Representatives.
