Election update on a previous post about Democratic women in and running for office

[suffragette]

Back in August, I posted about Republicans attacking Democratic women for their strengths. I highlighted several women who were in office or running for office.

Today, I checked in how they did and thought I should post these results since they are truly inspiring.

We didn’t get everything we wanted last night, but what we did was substantive and meaningful and still gives me hope for the future

Excerpt from my post:

Nationwide, the voices of Rashida Tlaib, Sharice Davids, Deb Haaland and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are rising up and being heard, joining with the last wave of winning legislators including strong women like Pramila Jayapal and Kamala Harris and adding to the longstanding strength of leaders like Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, Patty Murray, Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Duckworth, Jan Schakowsky and on and on.

Rashida Tlaib won.
Sharice Davids won.
Deb Haaland won.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won.
Pramila Jayapal won again with over 84% (bragging on my Rep).
Kamala Harris - Looks to be running for President.
Nancy Pelosi - Back running the House!
Maxine Waters - Chairing the House Financial Services Committee. Oh, yeah!
Barbara Lee - Running to become Chair of the House Democratic Caucus - I’m with her.
Elizabeth Warren - Re-elected handily and looks to be running for President.
Tammy Duckworth - Continuing to represent voices too often muted, including women in the military and people with disabilities.
Jan Schakowsky - Re-elected convincingly and still speaking out in her reliably liberal voice.
Patty Murray - Still standing tall in her famous, fighting tennis shoes. She summed it up well here:
