34% of states have never had a woman governor and 30% have never had a woman senator. At least one of those statistics is likely to decrease after today's general election.Minnesota and Tennessee will most assuredly vote in their first female governors since the two main contenders for the position are both women. Three other states that have never had a woman governor, Georgia, Idaho, and Pennsylvania, all have women candidates from a major party running for that office. Ohio has technically had a woman governor for a brief two-week period as an interim. That state has the potential to elect its first female governor today.Montana and Oklahoma both have the opportunity to elect their first woman senators today.Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, and Pennsylvania share the dubious distinction of never having had a female governor or senator. Every state has elected at least one woman to Congress, either as a Representative or a Senator. We look forward to the day when we no longer need to celebrate the first woman to be elected to these major offices in any state.Read more: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/10/28/17-states-havent-had-a-woman-governor-and-15-havent-ha...#womengovernorsr#womensenatorsa#WomenInPoliticsitics ...
