A conversation with Senate freshman women

But she said it was just a time where everything was a first impression. Now, when she retired in 2016, we didn't elect another woman in Maryland to our congressional delegation for eight years. So Maryland operated with an all-male delegation for eight years until I was elected in 2014, along with two other women. So it is very cyclical, the change we see sometimes. But the reality is we are now 26 women strong. Not only are we there, but we have myself, Senator Lisa Blunt, Rochester. (02:16–02:26)
