Midterms Could Bring Historic Firsts in U.S. Leadership
The recent U.S. midterm elections featured one of the most diverse candidate slates in years, potentially leading to historic firsts. Voters elected the first openly gay male U.S. senator and may elect the first Native American female governor, Native women senators, the first Black female governor, and the first Muslim U.S. senator. Most candidates are Democrats, but Republicans may also break new ground. Advocates highlight these milestones as signs of changing American democracy.
