Meet the Women History Makers of the Midterms

Becca Balint became Vermont's first woman and first openly gay representative elected to Congress. "Today, we reaffirmed that Vermont, and this nation, is still a place where anything is possible," Balint wrote on Instagram, thanking her constituents. "We're still capable of change and progress. Tonight, after 231 years, Vermonters are sending a woman and openly gay person to Congress for the first time."
