A behind the scene look at some of the "freshmen" women elected to the House in 2018. After seeing some headlines about most, it was good to learn a bit more about their elections, the districts they represent and the change they represent. Two Native American's, Muslim, women of color, women with military and national security backgrounds. Will they bring change? Will they accomplish their goals? What will success look like. I was struck by at least one who commented that they didn't know if they would be there in two years so refused to vote against her beliefs system even if to fit into the wider party narrative. Despite some early controversies, they are mostly marching to the beat of their own drummer, sticking together and revising this staid body of legislators.
