A Good Day for Conservative Women

"Meet the new women," writes Ashe Schow @ the Washington Examiner:

• Senator-elect Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.) — a sitting Congresswoman, she is the first woman to represent the state of West Virginia in the U.S. Senate.
• Senator-elect Joni Ernst (Iowa)-- the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate from the state of Iowa.
• Congresswoman-elect Barbara Comstock (Va) — a sitting state house delegate, she defeated her opponent (and the Clinton machine that targeted her) in an increasingly liberal Northern Virginia district.
• Congresswoman-elect Elise Stefanik (NY) — the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, she faced multiple sexist remarks from her opponent and handled them with the grace and composure of a seasoned politician.
• Congresswoman-elect Mia Love (Utah) — she is the first black Republican woman in Congress, as well as the first Haitian-American representative.

Conservatives can also cheer a conservative gentleman: Senator Tim Scott (SC) — the first black senator elected to Congress from South Carolina is also the first African-American elected by popular vote in the South and only the fifth African-American elected ever, according to the Christian Science Monitor.
