As Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.), the first LGBTQ+ mom elected to Congress told the Washington Post in 2018, “When people ask me, ‘What is the significance of so many women and mothers being in the U.S. Congress?’ you know, it’s great for young girls that they see this representation. But maybe it’s even more important that my four sons grow up in a world where women are fully representing them. This is the new normal for them, that women are at the policymaking table.”
