Next year’s Congress will feature the most women vet members ever
By Leo Shane III
 Friday, Nov 8, 2024
 
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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
