  • Illinois and Ohio achieve representation parity with their populations, both reflecting their demographics.
  • Historical milestones include Sarah McBride as the first openly transgender woman in Congress and Julie Fedorchak as North Dakota's first female representative.
  • Women make up less than a third of the 119th Congress, with six states having no female members.
  • New Jersey boasts an all-minority Senate delegation, with new Senator Andy Kim marking a significant milestone as the first Korean American Senator.
