None of the three Black women elected to the Senate—Carol Moseley Braun, Kamala Harris, and Laphonza Butler—overlapped in their time serving, highlighting an ongoing underrepresentation.
As Democrats prepare for potential gains in not only representation but leadership, Laphonza Butler expressed excitement about possibly sending two Black women to the Senate in 2024.
Angela Alsobrooks holds a slight lead in public polls for the Maryland Senate seat, indicating a shift toward increased Black female representation in Congress.
Ms. Butler declared, 'I'm so excited that we are about to move beyond the acceptance of having just one,' signaling a growing momentum for Black women in politics.
