For too long, our country hasn’t had enough women in executive leadership positions.
Now, we officially have a record number of Democratic women governors — 15!
And for the first time since 1992, there are 30 Democratic governors.
What an incredible night for @DemGovs!

Pope Leo and Bob Dylan look like they're starring in an early '90s CBS drama in which two priests - one by the book and one who does things his own way - try to solve mysteries in their seemingly sleepy Midwestern town that hides a seedy underbelly.

He's not well, mentally. He is literally standing in front of microphones hallucinating out loud. And Ill say it again: the worst part is the people who know it & say nothing.

When I came to Congress in 1987, there were only twelve Democratic women. We made it our mission to change that.
Today, we celebrate the election of more than 100 Democratic women to the House — a tremendous joy and source of pride.
When women succeed, America succeeds!

Please remember all the anti-democratic dogs that did not bark today.
ICE did not intimidate or arrest voters at polling stations.
Trump's attempt to disenfranchise voters in California failed miserably.
Trump's planned shenanigans in Alaska no longer matter. Dems already won the Senate.
And we dont have to wait anxiously to see what the House clerk will do on January 3rd regarding the seating of newly elected members. This blowout makes that anti-democratic tactic completely untenable now.
Democrats won big tonight.
But so too did democracy.
Those who predicted democracy's death in America were mistaken.

Democrat Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Governor's race.
She will make history as the nation's first Native American governor.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Haaland, a member of the Laguna Pueblo, will be the first female Native American governor of any U.S. state, not the first overall. Johnston Murray was the first Native American to be elected governor in the U.S.
