The 117th Congress is the most diverse the United States has ever seen. Twenty-three percent (https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/01/28/racial-ethnic-diversity-increases-yet-again-with-the-117th-congress/) of lawmakers in the U.S.
House of Representatives and Senate identify as a racial or ethnic minority, and more women hold elected office than ever before.
2020 also marked the election of Delaware state Senator Sarah McBride (D), the highest-ranking transgender elected official in U.S.
history; the first nonbinary state lawmaker and the first Muslim member of the Oklahoma Legislature (Mauree Turner, D); and a historic number of openly LGBTQ candidates elected to office.
