An historic political #election marks a sea change for #women in #politics. First up, #danicaroem becomes first-ever #transgender #woman elected to state legislature. Roem’s goals for #virginia moving forward are to “build up our infrastructure instead of tearing each other down. No matter what you look like or how you identify you should be celebrated for who you are,” she says. Joining Roem in the ranks are #KathyTran, #ElizabethGuzman and #HalaAyala, first #asian woman and #Latina women respectively to serve as reps for house of delgates. #andreajenkins became the first #africanamerican transgender woman elected to city council, and #jennydurkan made history as first #lesbian mayor of #seattle. #cathymurillo also took home a win as first Latina mayor of #sandiego while #joycecraig solidified her new role as first female mayor of #manchester #newhampshire 📸 Paul Richards AFP Getty Images (Danica Roem) 📸 Guzman, Tran, Ayala, Jenkins, Murillo, Facebook 📸 Source Jenny Durkan, Seattle Times #electionday2017 #womenempowerment #sisterhood #blogger #blog #blogpost
