Next year’s Congress will feature the most women vet members ever
By Leo Shane III

The next session of Congress will feature the most women veterans ever elected to the House and Senate, with at least eight winning races this year.

And that number could grow by one more: Iowa Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks holds a small lead in her re-election bid, with a few thousand votes left to be counted. The total is already double 2018, when only four women with military experience were among the 535 voting members of Congress.


Next year’s class includes two freshman House lawmakers: South Carolina Republican Sheri Biggs and New Hampshire Democrat Maggie Goodlander.

Damn mysogynist Republicans.
