This year's midterm elections broke barriers, the glass ceiling, and nationwide records. Specifically, the number of women holding statewide offices across the country is expected to reach an all-time high.
"In January, we expect there will be eighteen women serving as governor, which is up from the previous record of fourteen," Amanda Hunter, an adjunct professor at the Women & Politics Institute at American University, told WBZ-TV.
While not every race has been called, the nation voted for a lot of historic firsts.
In Georgia, Keisha Lance Bottoms will be the first Black woman to serve as governor. In Texas, Gina Hinojosa will be the first Latina governor. In New Mexico, Deb Haaland won the race as the first Native American woman Governor.
