As of Wednesday morning, 108 women have been elected to Congress (96 women in the House and 12 women in the Senate). Combined with the 10 female senators already serving who weren’t up for re-election this year, that makes for a record-breaking 118 women who will serve in the new Congress. There is still one more Senate seat to be decided in Arizona, but all the candidates are women, so a woman will win that seat as well. Prior to Tuesday’s election, there were 107 women in Congress. That marks an 11 percent increase from the previous Congress. Gains were made by Democratic women (83 of the 95 women elected to the House are Democrats and 10 of 13 women elected to the Senate are Democrats).
