Congress Will Have 100 Women For The First Time In History~A Democratic Victory in North Carolina
"Democrat Alma Adams will become the 100th woman in the 113th Congress after winning a special election on Tuesday to replace Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.), who became director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency earlier this year.
Because it was a special election, Adams will not have to wait until January to be sworn in. When that happens, it will be the first time Congress has ever had 100 women members concurrently serving.
“Alma Adams is a trailblazer and champion for women and families who is now poised to make history as the 100th woman serving in Congress,” said Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILY’s List, a progressive PAC dedicated to electing women who support abortion rights.
“Working families need leaders like Alma, who will unapologetically fight to protect women’s reproductive healthcare access and economic security. And with the help of the EMILY’s List community – now more than three million members strong – Alma is on her way to igniting change in Congress.”

She's already there!
WASHINGTON -- North Carolina's newly elected 12th district congresswoman is already in the nation's capitol. Alma Adams left Friday morning to immediately take over the remainder of Mel Watt's term -- that runs through the end of the year.
That comes after a campaign that ended Tuesday with the Democrat defeating Republican Vince Coakley with 75-percent of the vote.
Adams thinks her20 years in North Carolina's General Assembly will help her make a quick transition."

Well, we may have lost big time this midterm, but since Wed morning we've slowly but surely learned of all the good things that did happen. Think about this, ladies. More women in Congress than ever. That alone helps soothe the wounds. It will be a beautiful picture on the steps of the Capital building.
And what can you say about Alma Adams. She's going to fall into the routine smoothly. What a beautiful family. And won with 75% of the vote! Isn't that kind of margin unheard of in recent history? I don't know who ran her campaign, but whoever it was, they need to get the word of how they did it to Democratic Party heads in each state. And send this information first to those 30 states where Republicans have painted their states red.
Thanks, Cha, for these photos and info.
Just getting started!
Ever pressing onward for "true leadership"
