🔹 Soledad Chávez de Chacón (NM) – In 1924, she became the first Latina to serve as a U.S. state governor (acting Governor of New Mexico).

🔹 Carol Moseley Braun (IL) – The first Black woman elected to the U.S. Senate (1992), she shattered ceilings and championed progressive policies.

In the 119th Congress, women hold 28% of voting seats, mirroring the previous term. Notably, 30 Black women and 13 Hispanic women serve in the House, reflecting strides in representation. However, women still comprise a smaller share of Congress compared to their 51% proportion in the U.S. adult population (Sources: American Pew Center and People.com).

Encouragingly, for the first time, two Black women—Senators Lisa Blunt Rochester and Angela Alsobrooks—are serving simultaneously in the Senate.

These milestones highlight progress and the ongoing need to support Black and Brown women pursuing political office. Diverse representation ensures that all voices are heard in our nation's legislative processes.
