We had a number of firsts in this past election. In Washington, Pramila Jayapal, was elected, the first Indian-American woman in the House of Representatives.
In Florida, Stephanie Murphy defeated Republican incumbent John Mica to become the first Vietnamese-American woman in the House.
Kamala Harris won in California to become the first Indian/black U.S. Senator.
In Nevada, Catherine Cortez Masto was the first Latina elected to the Senate. Incidentally, all of the above were Dems.
Four states (Arizona, Washington, Colorado, and Maine) raised their minimum wage.
Finally, medical use of marijuana was approved by voters in Arkansas, Florida, and North Dakota. Recreational pot was approved in Massachusetts, Maine, Nevada, and what was that fourth one? Oh yeah, California.
