Arizona will send a woman to the senate for the first time ever

Source: Broadly

Arizona’s Senate race turned into an all-women contest Tuesday night after voters tapped Democrat Kyrsten Sinema and Republican Martha McSally to represent their respective parties in November’s general election.

Both women are vying for the seat left open by Senator Jeff Flake, a notorious Trump dissenter who announced in October that he wouldn’t be running for re-election. The race is expected to be a fierce one, especially since Arizona is considered a battleground state this year, one of a handful where Democrats have a shot at picking up a Senate seat.

No matter who wins—Sinema or McSally—it’s a guarantee Arizona will soon send a woman to the Senate for the first time ever.
