Voted into history: Wes Moore to be Maryland’s first Black governor; first Gen-Z House
This year’s midterm elections are making history.
In Maryland, Wes Moore was elected the state’s first Black governor, and nationally he is the third elected Black governor.
In an election cycle with record numbers of LGBTQ candidates, the country’s first lesbian governor was elected in Massachusetts, and New Hampshire voters elected the first transgender man to a state legislature.
The results have also seen new representation of women and younger generations, from the first female governor of Arkansas to the first Gen Z elected member of Congress.
