On Tuesday, America did not break that tough glass ceiling by electing our first Mrs. POTUS. We did, however, make history elsewhere. Check out these amazing ladies who made their mark on last week's election.
1. Ilhan Omar
The Somali-American refugee was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives. This feat makes Omar the first Somali-American man or woman to reach an elected office.
2. Kamala Harris
The former California Attorney General is taking the place of retiring incumbent Barbara Boxer. Harris is the first woman of Indian descent to be a Senator, and the first black woman in the position since 1999.
3. Zena Stephens
Stephens claimed the position of County Sheriff in Jefferson County, Texas, on Tuesday. She is the first black woman in her state to do so.
4. Tammy Duckworth
This Iraq War Veteran, who lost both of her legs when her Black Hawk helicopter crashed, unseated Illinois Senator Mark Kirk. Kirk received backlash during his campaign for wrongly questioning Duckworth's military lineage, which dates back to the Revolutionary War. Duckworth is the first Thai-born Senator in history.
5. Catherine Cortez Masto
The former Nevada Attorney General is taking over for retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid. Masto is the first Latina Senator in the United States.
6. The House of Representatives
Washington D.C. will be seeing eight female freshman representatives, including former Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter, Liz Cheney, R-Wyoming. Accompanying her on the House floor will be Nannette Barragan, D-California, Lisa Blunt, D-Delaware, Stephanie Murphy, D-Florida, Val Demmings, D-Florida, Carol Shea-Porter, D-New Hampshire, Claudia Tenney, R-New York, and Pramila Jayapal, D-Washington.
