Hi everyone! Thanks for coming to our meeting tonight and for those of you who didn't get to make it, here's a quick recap!
Election Results:
Democrats took control of the House and the Republicans kept control of the Senate.
It's the YEAR OF THE WOMAN!
Women made up 52% of the electorate and there will be 123 women in the House for the first time in history, including 40 women of color!
Congress will see its first Native American and Muslim women!
In Georgia, Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams is refusing to concede to Republican Brian Kemp in the governor's race. If Stacey Abrams wins, she will be the state’s first African American woman governor in the U.S.!
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Arizona are still waiting on recounts--so keep an eye out for those states' results!
