New Mexico may elect historic all-female U.S. House delegation

The 2018 election sent a record number of women to Congress — including two named Katie from Southern California.The state’s 1st Congressional District is currently held by Democratic U.S. Rep. Deb Haaland, who was one of the nation’s first Native American congresswomen.

Like nuking from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Scary 😬

Cool

Building full of Karens

cathyjgahanart There is6,000,000 more women in the USA than there are men. 51% of the voters and 51% of the workforce. When they come together they can’t be stopped.

They should be live 24/7. Cameras on them all day and night. The drama would be epic.

So what? That doesn't make it great. There have been some really rotten female leaders throughout history. No one should vote for someone just because she's female. Vote for the person who is NOT going to screw up America. Vote for people who won't destroy the Constitution.

Women are doing for themselves

As a male; I certainly hope so!
